Well, if your fish tank is small you can place it almost everywhere, but if it is bigger you should be very careful.

For example it is better for you to avoid placing it near the windows. That is because they will be exposed to direct sunlight and if your fish are used to living in deep waters this won’t be good for them. Besides, windows are made to be opened and fish don’t normally like sudden temperature changes.

That same condition applies if you place the fish tank near heaters or radiators. So avoid doing so, as you must keep a constant  temperature in the tank. It is also a good idea to keep the fish tank away from any power source like a wall plug or some other electrical wires because in case of accident it is better to keep these things away from water.

Try to place the fish tank somewhere where you can easily see them in order to notice any sudden changes in their behavior or if they get sick or there are some cracks. So avoid the places in the house where you rarely go or where you do not pay attention to the surrounding area, like a dark hallway or the balcony or something similar. Basically place it under your permanent supervision, but not some place with a lot of traffic.
