This is a long shot but I thought I would at least give it a go. I'm wondering if anybody out there can tell from this picture how sound/if something here MIGHT be a load baring wall or a good spot for an aquarium. It's on the third floor. If this is the stupidest question ever may I face the wrath of 1000 aptasia and thanks anyways!

Based off that cieling it almost surely is not load bearing. However i have seen builders do crazy things and in this case it is at least possible the rafters switch direction in that back corner. In any case i would say an answer cant be given with 100% certainty from the picture. Is there a flat ceiling with an accessible attic in that back left corner?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure yet. Thanks for your reply
