<Effects of the Invention> In short, according to the present invention, since the water tank body has substantially the same outer dimensions as the inner surface dimensions of the frame body and substantially the same height so that it can be installed almost densely inside the frame body, For example, during transportation or when an earthquake occurs, the water tank body oscillates or does not move within the frame body, so that there is no risk of damage or cracking of the water tank body or an accident. Also, since the frame body has a function of protecting from the outer surface of the aquarium body by the thickness of the wall and protecting it against impacts, even if a large number of aquarium fish tanks are closely arranged and transported by a truck or the like, the adjacent frame bodies Since the only one is in contact, the aquarium body will not be damaged by vibration, and even if a shock is applied to the outer surface while water is kept inside and the fish are raised, the water inside will leak out. There is no such thing. In addition, a water treatment mechanism having a filtration mechanism, a heating mechanism and a pumping mechanism is detachably installed inside the aquarium body, and a lid is provided with an illuminator and other electric mechanisms, which are indispensable for raising fish. Since the mechanism was arranged functionally,
Various parts such as wiring of electric appliances, tubes, pumps, fluorescent lamps, etc. will not be scattered near the aquarium for aquarium fish, and fish can be raised in an extremely orderly manner, and from a filtration mechanism to a pumping mechanism. The passing water can be heated by the heating mechanism to efficiently and quickly equalize the water temperature in the water tank body. In addition, since the water treatment mechanism includes a heating mechanism, it is not necessary to attach or remove the heater that constitutes the heating mechanism to the inner surface of the water tank body, and the water treatment mechanism can be attached to or removed from the water tank body. Anyone can easily and easily install and remove the filtration mechanism, the pumping mechanism, and the heating mechanism together. Also, since the frame body decorates the outer surface of the aquarium body, it can give a very novel feeling,
Since the wirings and other things are hardly exposed to the outside, the appearance is very good in combination with the presence of the frame, and the commercial value is high and the practical value can be increased.
