I’m about to go on a long/exciting trip to this very famous aquarium. I just need to do a little research to get to know how aquariums should improve. I’ve thought of, a I think, 11 or 12? I want to have at least 10 more improvements that aquariums should approve upon of. Thank You!

i would say the biggest things that any aquariums could do is.
clearer water
interesting varieties of fish
more set peices (ie, rocks and plants)
can’t think of any more though.
good water quality , good environment
1.) Quality of water
2.) Compatibility of species
3.) More space for the fish (usually they are all cramed in)
4.) More varied diet (this is in some cases, there are zoos out there that give their fish excellent diets)
That’s all I can think of. ^^ Good luck!
It depends on the aquarium, I’ve been to amazing aquariums with beautiful displays, healthy fish, and they just take your breath away! I’ve been to others where the average fish shop provides a better showcase.
Things that are nice:
1) Variety
2) Identification and bios on the fish types
3) “Petting” zoo (cucumber, starfish, etc) or other interactive hands-on things
4) Larger walking areas (I hate a cramped aquarium where you cannot even get to the glass to look!)
5) More walk through aquariums (like the shark tunnel ones or the jelly fish ones where the fish surround you)
6) Conveyor belts (been to one with these and they were GREAT!)
7) Ecosystems: don’t just show me the fish, show me where and how they live
8) Breeding tank: I went to one aquarium that had a thing on how corals grow and fish reproduce. They had coral frags they were growing and eggs they were hatching, they also had a fry tank…very cool!
9) More guides or employees around to answer questions, many people will ask “what kind of fish is that?” and they only have the public there to help them.
10) Information on their system, like a behind the scenes video or information area where they talk about feeding schedules, how they filter the tanks, etc.
