Why is an aquarium open from above?
Why isn't it usually just closed at the top, leaving only holes for water, food, and possibly other items? Wouldn't that be much safer, for example, against cats?

Hello I have a 60-liter tank and 11 guppies, but I've already discovered some new offspring and am wondering what to do if I have too many new offspring. We have a pond and could simply put the new offspring in there, and then it would take care of itself. Is that all I can…
I've noticed something strange on the heads of many shrimp. It looks like bubbles. Does anyone have any idea what it is?
Hello dear ones ☺️ A few days ago my male SBB started swimming diagonally on the water surface, not eating anything and breathing quickly. One day later he had these white spots on his side and another day later he had the red spots in his mouth. What could he have? I bought it about…
Hello, my male guppy is lying on the floor and is only breathing quickly. The water values are OK. In any case, whenever I wanted to help him eat, he always felt tormented and kept trying to swim away from my hand. Yesterday he was better. I knocked on the window and he was still…

Most aquariums have a lid that can carry an average cat.
And the average cat usually falls only once into an open aquarium, after which she learned it.
Yes, that’s why most aquariums already have a cover, there’s usually also lighting in it,
Most aquariums are covered, especially aquascapes are not. Due to strong LED illumination, which is above the aquarium, a cover is often missing. But also because many find an aquarium without cover more beautiful.
Usually only Scape aquariums are without cover.
This is simply because it looks more beautiful and a stronger illumination can be attached to the open basin. In addition, there are also usually pieces from large roots.
But it doesn’t have a real function.
Hi.
Most aquariums (80%+?) are closed at the top with a cover.
You have to shut it down or at least open it very far so that you can cut plants in the aquarium or catch fish.
Well, how to fill the aquarium with plants etc.?
By removing the cover?
Oh. And what is better about the proposal of the questioner than with a usual cover? 🙂
Nothing, because any normal lid provides space for filter outlets, cables, etc.
