Some tank cosmetics have openings that fish swim into. This is just for show: fish don't need shelter, and it has no effect on anything else.
| Type | Examples | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow | Hollow Log, Amphora, Clay Pipe | Species with a shelter habit (below) |
| Open | Spruce Gazebo, Mangrove Knees | Any swimmer that fits, resting in view |
| Gate | Fence arches, Torii Gate, Moon Gate | Any swimmer that fits, passing through |
Larger builds like the Drowned Cathedral combine several types.
| Habit | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor | Drops in now and then | Bluegill, Betta |
| Skittish | Hides when you lunge toward the tank | Neon Tetra, Golden Trout |
| Lurker | Claims a shelter as its home | Angler Fish, Electric Eel |
- Leave water in front of the opening. A large opening right against the glass can't be used.
- Check the fish fits. Big fish can't use small openings.
- Only swimmers use shelters.
