Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a water tank which has excellent appearance as an interior decoration at night, which gives proper intensity of light for appreciation of fish and which is advantageous from an economical viewpoint by assembling a planer light-emitting body which emits light with small electric power to at least a part of the water tank. SOLUTION: This water tank A consists of a light-emitting part B, a purifying and oxygen supplying device C and a tank main body D. The light-emitting part B and a purifying and oxygen supplying device C are attached to the upper face of the tank body D. As for the light-emitting body of the light- emitting part B, any material can be used as far as it can be attached to the inside of the cover and it has a long planer form and emits light with small electric power. For example, an electroluminescent (EL) which emits light responding to electric signals applied is used. The light-emitting body may be attached to the back face of the tank A, to the bottom of the tank A or to a wide area of the inner wall.
