The fish tank accessories that you need will largely depend on the type of fish that you have as well as the type of tank. For example, keeping regular gold fish in a simple fish tank will require far fewer accessories than if you had tropical fish in an aquarium or biorb, and you’ll often find that you’ll need more aquarium accessories and biorb accessories to accommodate.

Plants are one of those fish tank accessories that would be useful for all species and in all tanks. Plants, and related items such as coral or rocks, would be a great addition to any tank as they give the fish added vegetation making it a more natural environment.

A few aquarium accessories that you might need include things such as fish tank heaters and aquarium thermometers. Fish tank heaters are essential pieces of equipment if you have tropical fish as they won’t be able to survive in cold water, making fish tank heaters vital to consider.

Aquarium thermometers will also be essential to keep a note of the temperature, giving your fish exactly what they need. You’ll often be able to get digital aquarium thermometers to make sure you’ve got the temperature exactly right.

Biorb accessories will usually be quite specific to the type of tank that you own, and include things such as replacement bulbs, anti-algae kits and heater stands. Then there’s the option of aquarium accessories that you may not have thought of, including pebbles for the bottom of the tank, and don’t forget things like water filters or air pumps.
