Aquariums in Two Point Museum are a neat way to show off marine life and earn donations, but they need proper care. Here’s a basic guide to setting them up and using them without too many fishy problems.
Setting Up an Aquarium
Minimum Size: The smallest aquarium is 4x3 tiles (12 spaces).
More Space Means More Fish:
A 12-tile tank holds about 3 fish.
Every 3 extra tiles usually add space for 1 more fish.
Note that larger fish count as more than one fish.
Key Requirements
Filters:
Every aquarium must have at least one filter.
Filters keep the water clean by scrubbing out fish waste and toxins.
If the water turns green, it means you need a new or upgraded filter.
Food Dispensers:
Fish need Flake Food or Fresh Food.
Make sure to keep the dispensers full, or the fish may start to look less than lively.
Temperature Control:
Heaters allow tropical fish to thrive.
Coldwater Coolers let coldwater fish survive.
Tanks without heaters or coolers work for temperate fish.
Putting fish in the wrong temperature tank will eventually lead to disaster.
Breeding Fish
Egg Cup:
You unlock breeding in Chapter 3 with an Egg Cup, which costs $15,000.
Breeding happens automatically when there are two or more of the same species and space is available.
Bred fish come with a bonus trait that makes them a bit more valuable if sold.
Best Strategy for Using Aquariums
Combine with Other Exhibits:
Place Info Stands near your aquarium. Fully researched fish boost the Knowledge rating.
Sound Setup:
Mount wall speakers to play Marine Ambience. The sound adds a small bonus to the Buzz rating.
Mix Tank Types:
Have display tanks full of small, researched fish to maximize Knowledge.
Keep some tanks for breeding. They might not have top Buzz but help make extra cash.
Easy Maintenance:
Position Filters, Food Dispensers, and Temperature Control units close to the tank’s airlock. This makes upkeep easier and faster.
Group Tanks Together:
Multiple aquariums in one room create a tour that impresses visitors and draws in generous donations.
Final Blurb
Keep an eye on your maintenance and fish needs. If you have extra fish, decide whether to sell them for money or analyze them for more Knowledge. A well-run aquarium brings in more donations and makes your museum shine—even if it sometimes feels like you’re swimming upstream.
