The aquarium in "Double Point Museum" is a more luxurious special museum in the game. The construction requirements of this kind of museum are relatively unique. The most important thing is the size of the aquarium and the needs of fish. The minimum size of the aquarium is 4×3 grids, but as long as they are suitable for placement in the building, you can build a larger aquarium. The bigger the aquarium, the more fish it can accommodate.
What are the requirements for the construction of the Double Point Museum Aquarium?
There are many requirements for the construction of aquariums, first of all, the size of the aquarium and the fish needs.
In Double Point Museum, the minimum size of the aquarium is 4×3 grids, but you can build larger aquariums as long as they are suitable for placement within a building. The bigger the aquarium, the more fish it can accommodate. A larger aquarium also means more guests can view at the same time, and easier access to information display boards and donation boxes.
How many fish can an aquarium accommodate?
A minimum size of 12 grids can accommodate up to 3 fish. For every three lattices added, the aquarium’s capacity increased by about one fish, but this is not an exact measure; we added one lattice at a time when building the aquarium and came to the following conclusion:
As you can see, the capacity of an aquarium is not exactly about adding a fish for every three lattices, but this rule is close enough that you can build or expand the aquarium based on this experience. Ultimately, the capacity of the aquarium is limited only by its size.
Remember that larger fish take up more space and will usually count as two or more fish. You can see the size of the fish when checking it, which determines the space it takes, and the size information will be displayed in the upper left corner of the window.
Filter power
The aquarium requires at least one filter to complete the construction; without the filter, the game will not allow you to complete the construction. The filter keeps the water clean enough so that the fish in the aquarium can survive, while larger aquariums may require multiple filters.
Every fish will increase the dirt and mess in the aquarium due to factors such as waste and natural toxins in the body, and the filter will remove these dirt and mess. The dirtiness of each fish can be viewed by looking at their statistics, but generally speaking, larger and more exotic fish are more dirtless. In order to maintain the health of the aquarium, the total filtration capacity of the aquarium must be greater than or equal to the degree of messiness caused by the fish.
Many aquarium decorations can provide some filtration capacity because plants naturally remove algae and microorganisms – this is something to be considered when designing new aquariums!
If the water in the aquarium becomes morbidly green, it means that its filtration capacity is insufficient. You need to add a new filter, or upgrade the existing one, otherwise the fish's health will begin to decline. Filters that have not been maintained for a long time will be damaged and if not repaired in time, it may endanger the lives of the fish.
Food
Fish need to eat flaky foods or fresh foods, which can be provided through appropriate types of feeders. The feeder must be refilled regularly by marine biology experts; upgrading the feeder can extend the feeding time. Fish without food, whether because the feeder is empty or because they cannot obtain the right type of feeder, will lose their health and eventually die.
If there are fish that can eat two foods in the aquarium, it is OK to have a feeder for each food, but be careful of fish that have the "fish eater" characteristics; unless their prey has defensive characteristics, they will eat smaller fish.
Temperature
If the aquarium is equipped with a heater, it can raise tropical fish; if it is equipped with a cold water cooler, it can raise cold water fish; if neither is available, it can only raise temperate fish. Putting fish in an aquarium with unsuitable temperatures can lead to their eventual death, so be careful not to mix species with different environmental needs.
