Half-full tanks

Alkers · 2019-02-01 12:24:42

Why do people do this? I see it all the time on adverts and online, where people have a tank filled up only halfway up the glass? I get it for turtles at the like where they might have a portion of the tank out of the water but surely it's counter-productive for fish?

Probably evaporation and goes to show how much care they took over it and hence the sale of it.
