Fish Tanks are furniture items. There are different sizes of fish tanks that can house different numbers of items.

Use

Certain items can be added to the fish tank to change its appearance by holding the item and right-clicking on the tank. To get a list of the items inside or to remove them, right-click on the tank with empty hands. The location and appearance of the decorations and any stationary animals placed inside is random and can be changed without removing items by picking up and re-placing the tank.

Animations

Most of the swimming creatures either move around without animating (e.g., Pufferfish, Octopus) or move their tails / rear parts of their bodies at various speeds while swimming. However, some of the swimming creatures have unique animations:

• Eels and Lava Eels undulate up and down like a dolphin or whale (rather than side to side like an eel or other fish).
• Squids and Midnight Squids push with their tentacles much like the Blue Squid found in the mines with the Shrine of Challenge active.
• Stingrays flip their fins up and down as well as moving their tails.

For the bottom creatures, Frogs have unique animations for hopping around and inflating their vocal sacs.

Secret

Details
