How can I keep an aquarium outdoors?

I have seen many pictures and videos online aquarium with plants outside. I'm interested to do the same, but I know how. What prevents fish jumping out? What keeps the temperature fluctuations of the tank without a hood? What types of fish could be kept in a tank outdoors?

That some things you need to be careful of: – 1. Cavaliers – You can minimize this problem by not get the fish that are known to jump. But if the fish is expelled or intimidation, or surprise, she may plunge. It's a good idea to have a lid for the reservoir, can put before bedtime. You can build a box lid open with egg, or some form of compensation and perhaps a wooden frame. Or you can buy a plastic box Low-cost drip drop. My LFS is open tanks, but before they close at night, put a lid on all tanks. 2. Pollution. You need a hood, if you decide to do a little cleaning with lacquer cleanign, or any aerosol AMBIENTADOR in the room. It is easy to contaminate water and cause problems for fish if you use the chemicals in the house. But it is also easy to temporarily cover the lid and remove the cover when the chemicals were dispersed. 3. Evaporation. By Topping regular, metal halide, apparently are not practical a small tank top of open evaporation would be insane. But we must go with t5s/t8s. 4. The temperature should be fairly stable. Heaters to compensate for temperature fluctuations, unless you live in the North Pole. I suspect that if you has lots of lighting, lack of Hood may help the temperature remains more stable than the water is heated by lighting. Many marine settings standard with cover still to come Fire fans try to take some heat from the tank. 5. What fish? I am more aware of what sailors fihs jerseys are in fresh water. I know that any type of Loach is a bad idea. The red tail "shark" any "Jaws" is a bad idea. All what is fickle and fast moving probably a bad idea.
