We change the water of the fish tank a little at a time even though it is quite dirty. The fish themselves have become accustomed to this culture in which their community of scale and fin swim. The key to keeping them healthy is patience, to add small doses of clean water in a steady and regular fashion.
The term 'fish tank' has always tickled me, for my brain insta-draws a fish in an armoured tank, paddled shaped fins holding the steering levers and a hat perched over its dorsal fin. Don't get me started on 'mail-box.'

Not Just A Pretty Face – How The Beauty And Wonder Of An Aquarium Can Stimulate Creative Writing
However, looking out onto water, whether that be a lake, river, pond or ocean allows our brain a cognitive break. There is much less information coming in and we are in a calmer, creative and more relaxed state. We can let our thoughts wander and daydream and without realising, our imagination begins to flow.
For over three years now, Aqualease have been providing coral reef aquarium projects for the classroom. As well as linking in with curriculum subjects such as science, geography and maths, teaching staff have used the aquarium as a key tool in literacy. To support children’s reading, writing and listening skills, unlocking a child’s creativity and imagination.
What can be more exciting than dressing up and being pirates for the day! To write a diary of your maiden voyage and explore how you are feeling, what can you see? What is the weather like? What is life like on board the ship? Children can also create poems, incorporating a range of ideas, including; aquarium animals, life under the sea, weather at sea.
How about going on a journey to the abyss in a submarine. What can you see? Have you discovered any new species? How are you feeling? This is a great opportunity to link in with teaching recount writing.
The list is endless, all of this from a coral reef aquarium that not only acts as a catalyst for ideas but also improves mental wellbeing too. Not just a pretty face!
