Start with purpose, not tank decoration

Planet Zoo 2 officially includes custom freshwater and saltwater aquariums for fully aquatic species. Before drawing a tank, decide whether it will be a single attraction, part of a mixed animal route or the anchor of an indoor aquarium district. That choice determines circulation, viewing length and how much hidden operational space is needed. Promotional material confirms the system, but exact water parameters, tank limits and staffing behavior are not yet public, so this plan reserves adaptable space rather than asserting unsupported dimensions.

Separate the guest face from the service face

An aquarium has at least two journeys: the visitor approaches a readable viewing surface, while staff need practical access that should not depend on the viewing crowd. Reserve a back-of-house edge and a connection to the wider staff network before enclosing the attraction. On the public side, provide enough approach depth for guests to stop without blocking through traffic. Curved routes can create reveals, but every viewing pocket should reconnect to the main circulation instead of becoming a congested dead end.

Choose freshwater or saltwater from evidence

The water category should follow the species information in Planet Zoo 2, not real-world assumptions or values copied from another game. Use the official Zoopedia and current interface to verify how a species is categorized when those records are available. A named marine animal confirms roster inclusion, not compatibility with every other saltwater species. Mixed-species claims, population limits and water-quality requirements will remain pending until the relevant game screens or repeatable tests provide direct evidence.

Design sightlines without promising welfare effects

A strong view helps guests understand the attraction, but a visually impressive window does not prove a welfare or education bonus. Plan a primary view, an accessible circulation path and optional secondary angles, then check the released simulation for crowd distribution and animal responses. Avoid surrounding every side with guests before disturbance mechanics are verified. Interpretation signs and education elements can be reserved near stopping areas, with exact coverage or benefit documented only when the game exposes it.

Launch verification checklist for tanks

For each aquarium type, editors will record construction controls, supported shapes, water category, required facilities, staff access, guest viewing behavior and the fields exposed on the animal panel. Tests will use the same small baseline tank before size or complexity changes. Species requirements and compatibility will live on species pages, while this guide keeps the planning workflow. That separation prevents the same generic aquarium paragraph from being copied to every aquatic animal URL.
