Probably the first and the most important feature for me is the volume of the aquarium. Do the animals and plants have enough space to live and to behave in a natural way? Of course, most of us can not have aquaria of the size of a typical pond or a stream, but still, the bigger the aquarium is the better it is for its inhabitants. So, tanks which I liked the most are the ones which provide as much living space for animals and plants as possible.
