Freshwater vs saltwater
Confirmed so far: the Axolotl is a freshwater aquarium species. Giant Gourami and Blunthead Cichlid are freshwater fish in the real world (Southeast Asian rivers and Lake Tanganyika). The reef and ocean species (sharks, turtles, fusilier, batfish, dolphin fish, sunfish, clownfish, lionfish, puffer) are saltwater. Per-species tank requirements live in the in-game Zoopedia.
How the aquarium system works
Aquariums are true customizable habitats, not placeable tanks — filtration systems, staff airlocks and piece-by-piece building. See the full Aquariums Guide.
What's still waiting
Each animal's water volume, temperature, group size and filtration needs live in the in-game Zoopedia, not a shared Frontier list.
