# Rooms and themes

_Choose the room your aquarium stands in and the water inside it. Just for looks._

## Rooms

Your aquarium can stand in a room: you see it above and beside the glass, and the stand under the aquarium changes with it. There are 4 rooms, and each aquarium has its own. With no room, the default, it stands against a plain wall; on a phone on its side it fills the screen. The aquarium is real glass: through the blue water you see the wall behind it. A Theme you choose brings its own painted water instead.

Change the room on the Room tab of [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop). Each card shows your own aquarium standing in that room.

## Themes

A theme changes the water and what is painted behind it, from a sunlit lagoon to dark volcanic vents. There are 7, and each one matches a set of decorations.

A theme never changes your floor or your decorations, and it does nothing to fish, coins or experience.

## Unlocking

The [Pet Shop Counter](https://fishies.lol/wiki/styles/room-pet-shop), Clear Water and the Lagoon are free from the start. The rest open up as you play:

- [The Study](https://fishies.lol/wiki/styles/room-study) opens at level 12, and each theme opens with its set of decorations, from level 23 to level 51.
- The [Garden Shed](https://fishies.lol/wiki/styles/room-garden-shed) is earned with the achievement Aquascaper, and the Gallery with Interior Designer.
- The Penthouse is bought once, from level 20, for 12,000 coins; after that it is yours in every aquarium.

## What visitors see

Visitors see each of your aquariums in the room and theme you chose for it.
