# More aquariums
_Buying a second and a third aquarium in Build & Buy, enlarging one, and moving fish between them._
## Buying an aquarium
From level 25, the Room tab of [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop) sells more aquariums: a second for 50,000 coins, then a third for 100,000, for 3 in all. It shows how much you've saved toward the next one.
A guest needs to [save their progress](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/signin) to a sign-in before buying one.
The Aquariums button beside the Map shows the aquarium you are in and how many of the 3 you have. Tap it to go to another aquarium, Customize one in Build & Buy, open its Details on its own screen, or see the next aquarium and enlarging, with what each still needs.
The Aquarium Studio is one step from wherever you look: its tile in the Menu's aquarium group, the 0 key, Customize on the Aquariums button, the Aquarium Studio button on the Room and Equipment tabs of Build & Buy, and the Aquarium Studio button in My Aquarium.
## My Aquarium
Your name at the top of the game opens My Aquarium, and so does Details on the Aquariums button. At the top stand your level ring (it opens your level), your handle and title, the aquarium's name (the pencil renames it), its picture and its followers, stars and visits. Under them are four buttons: Aquarium Studio (the upgrade hub: your aquariums, their look, equipment, tools and research, each on its own tab), My Fish, Take snapshot and Copy aquarium link.
Three tabs hold the rest. Setup shows each slot's choice as a card with Change, which opens [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop) on that part of the aquarium. Your aquariums lists every aquarium with its picture and a way there, and on the one you are in, whether visitors may come in and whether they land there first. Records holds your best fish, achievements, the Exhibition, what happened while you were away and your badges. Water, temperature, the filter and the feeder are on the bar at the top of the game, and every fish is in My Fish.
## What they share
Your coins, level and Pantry are shared by every aquarium. Each aquarium has its own fish, decorations, floor, glass, water and equipment, and holds as many fish as your level allows, the same as your first.
## Enlarging an aquarium
From level 25, once your aquariums have room for 24 fish, the Enlarge chip beside them on the Room tab of [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop) makes the aquarium on screen bigger for 200,000 coins. Each aquarium can be enlarged once, and then holds 30 fish and 60 decorations.
An enlarged aquarium is 2 screens wide: a panorama to decorate. Your fish swim the whole width and decorations go anywhere in it. To look along it, drag across empty water, scroll or swipe sideways, press the arrow keys or tap the arrows at its edges; the strip at its foot shows where you are. Visitors see the same wide aquarium. It also grows upward: the water is 2 screens tall, with the sand still at the bottom. Drag up and down, hold Alt while you scroll, or press the up and down arrow keys to see the rest. Pinch or scroll to zoom out and the whole aquarium fits on one screen. It opens zoomed out on the whole aquarium, for you and for visitors.
## Moving fish and decorations
Open a fish's card and choose Move to…, right-click the fish, or pick fish in My Fish, then tap the aquarium it goes to. The fish leaves at once and the move is free; it keeps its name, health, quality and age, and an egg keeps its hatch time. The other aquarium needs a free fish space for each fish or egg and keeps at most three adopted fish, and fish resting in the Conditioning Box and [legendary fish](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/legendary) never move.
Decorations and plants move the same way: open a decoration's card or right-click it, choose Move to… and tap the aquarium. It goes straight there without a stop in the Pantry, keeps its rarity and a plant keeps its growth, and it stands in the same place in the other aquarium, or on the nearest free sand. An aquarium with no free sand left for it says so on its picture.
## Public, private and welcome
Each aquarium can be open to visitors or private. Your address, fishies.lol/@yourname, opens your welcome aquarium: the public one you chose, or your first public one if you haven't picked.
