    The independent variable is the size of the aquarium and the dependent variable is the size of the fish population. All other variables in this scenario are held constant. Dependent variables are aspects that the researcher deliberately changes to see what will result from the change. If the food, water temperature and cleanliness are the same and the size of the aquariums is different, that makes aquarium size the independent variable.
