3D backgrounds offer an aesthetically pleasing backdrop to your aquarium, as well as providing a hygienic surface against which your fish can rub off its old scales. The textured covering also encourages the development of bacteria, turning your fish tank into a healthy, living ecosystem.

It can be a lonely life being a fish. Your career options are limited,Spruce Up Your Fish Tank with a 3D Aquarium Background Articles the opportunities for travel slim and the only lasting relationships you can hope for are distinctly arranged. On the other hand, you have a lovely tank, food delivered daily and a nice view. Alright, so the exact dimensions of your tank may vary according to budget, but we’d all have a bigger flat if we could afford it. And how much space do you really need? Once you’ve found somewhere to put the castle and the gravel, you only need some communal living space to swim around in. What’s really important is what you do with the space you have. The usual Vettriano prints are ill suited to an aquatic environment and water features are largely redundant. You could try a lava lamp, but I wouldn’t advise it if you want to keep your gills intact. No, what you really need is a 3D aquarium background.

We’re all leading busy cosmopolitan lives, but it’s still good to have a little reminder of the old country on your wall. A little bit of the ol’ big blue that ma and pa used to talk about. 3D aquarium backgrounds are available which mimic the coral reefs of the Galapagos Islands. So what if you’re a goldfish with no heritage more dignified than the display tanks of Westfield? There’re any number of New Yorkers who claim Scottish blood on far more tenuous grounds. Even if some snooty swordtails should question the efficacy of such a display, you can simply point out the additional benefits beyond the simply baronial. For a start, they’re incredibly attractive things. The urban minimalism of your flatmate’s bedsit might not speak of your own aquatic roots, but a finely sculpted, fully three-dimensional backdrop can lend your little corner of it a certain underwater charm. And it’ll probably create a soothing atmosphere for him, as well. That’s why he has you after all; a calming fin at the end of a wearying day. It’s just the way you swim, you laidback beast you.

There are also the remarkable health benefits. We’re always being told that we need to keep our scales clean, but how many of us have the time? It’s a sedentary life in a tank and there just aren’t the rocks you need to exfoliate. The protruding surfaces offer just the sort of abrasive surface to rub against; shed those scales and keep that streamline form. The textured backdrop is also a great environment for fostering friendly bacteria. Beats tipping a tub of Yakult into your tank every day.

There really is no better way to stay stylish, happy and healthy in your little fishy world than to invest in a 3D background for your aquarium. You’ll love it, your tankmates will love it and your owner will love it, too. Which is just as well – they’re paying after all.
