Wall mounted fish tanks, also known as portrait aquariums or wall aquariums can be a nice addition to a home. Wall mounted fish tanks can vary in size, and can range from 4 to 7 feet in length.

The advantage of a wall mounted fish tank is that its perfect if you don’t have any floor space for a regular standing aquarium.

There are all types of wall mounts for the different decor that you may want to match in your home.

As far as accessories are concerned, you usually get the filter and light that fits the tank. this leaves you with the purchase of just fish which makes things even less complicated.

There are a few downsides to keep in mind, and that is that you will need to have a really strong wall in your home to support 100-200 pounds of water in the tank.

The types of fish you purchase will be somewhat limited since not all fish will do well in a thin tank setting.

The cost can also be quite high when compared to a regular fish tank since this is a specialty item. If you want to go with something a little more basic such as a wall fish bowl then these can be a lot less than a traditional tank. But it may be well worth it to add a little light and life to your home, as well as entertainment to your guests.
