# Decorating your aquarium _Placing and moving plants and ornaments, and choosing a floor._ ## Placing decorations Pick a plant or decoration in the shop, or in your [Pantry](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stash), then tap the aquarium floor where it should go. Plants lean and sway with the current, while ornaments stand still. Both slow down [algae](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/cleaning), and plants do it best. Each piece needs a little free sand around its root; leaves and branches may overlap, as in a real planted aquarium. Before you tap, the preview shows where it will stand: on a taken spot it slides to the nearest free sand, and it turns red when there is no room nearby. ## Moving things around Drag a decoration to a new spot whenever you like. To rearrange more, choose Arrange in the aquarium's menu (right-click or hold the water), in the shop, or press R: your fish step back until you press Done. While arranging, tap a piece to pick it up and tap the sand to put it down, or drag it. Undo (or Ctrl+Z) takes the last step back. Store all puts every decoration and plant into the [Pantry](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stash) at once for a fresh start, and Undo brings them all back where they stood. Layouts saves your arrangement under a name, up to five for each aquarium. Applying one puts back every piece it names, from the aquarium or the Pantry; anything you no longer have is listed and skipped. Moving is free and earns no extra experience, so your aquarium is never really finished. ## The aquarium floor Choose one of 12 floors for your aquarium. A floor is just for looks: it never changes your fish, coins or experience. 4 floors are free from the start. The other 8 are bought once with coins: - They open from level 5 to level 45 and cost 600 to 35,000 coins. - A floor you bought is yours in every aquarium, and swapping between the floors you own is free. - Visitors see the floor you chose. ## Changed your mind? A decoration sells back for half its price.
