as long as it provides places that your fish can hide completely out of sight. When decorating our tanks, we have to remember that the comfort of the fish is the main priority for long term success.

Many captive fish don't even really know how or want to hide. They were raised in barren tanks with nowhere to go. Not being able to hide does not stress many of them.

This is totally different than wild caught fish which almost all seem to do better with being able to hide out of sight. Caves and arches do not do anything for them and if you can see any part of them they might not feel secure.
