Half-full tanks

Alkers · 2019-02-01 12:24:42

Why do people do this? I see it all the time on adverts and online, where people have a tank filled up only halfway up the glass? I get it for turtles at the like where they might have a portion of the tank out of the water but surely it's counter-productive for fish?

Probably evaporation and goes to show how much care they took over it and hence the sale of it.

Mine is exactly for that... Our turtle his basking dock is about halfway up the tank and he loves it still has plenty of room to swim underneath it
