Aquarium (Subnautica)

The Aquarium is an Appliance that can be built inside the Cyclops or a Seabase module using a Habitat Builder.

It can hold up to eight slots of the small Fauna which are categorized as Food. They can be added by clicking on the aquarium to bring up its Inventory menu, and placing the fauna. Only edible creatures can be placed inside. Though the databank entry mentions the aquarium's automatic environmental regulation sustains the occupants, an aquarium is not actually required to store live animals, which will survive indefinitely in any storage. The survival of creatures in an aquarium, or any other storage, does not depend on the Seabase or Cyclops having power. Unlike the Alien Containment, fauna will not breed in the Aquarium.

Strictly speaking, the aquarium's only purpose is decorative, other than perhaps the feature that the number and types of creatures inside can be seen without having to open the inventory, unlike other storage containers.
