What Aquarium Should You Go For?
Author: Rob Mellor So what aquarium is best for you. If you?ve been to the aquatics or have even
seen some aquarium fish in your local pet shop then you may be interested in
setting up an aquarium. The problem is most people don?t know where to start
and they don?t know what type of aquarium they should get.
When I talk about type of aquarium, I am meaning the type of fish you would get
e.g. saltwater or freshwater. There is not just two choices though. You need to
decide whether you want coldwater or tropical and then from which part of the
world.
There are some great ways to help you decide and here are a few tips to get you
started.
Select the top ten species of fish you would like to keep without taking into
account whether they are suited to live together. Then sort them out into there
groups and research which group that fish would go in.
After you have you groups you may then see that 4 out of the ten are in the
tropical saltwater group and are all peaceful fish that can be kept together.
The other 6 may be split into ones or twos. This would then mean that the group
of four could suit you best.
Another way to help select is look at the level of how difficult each group of
fish are. If you are decided on spending a couple of hours per week on your new
hobby then you can try something a little harder but if you don?t have much
spare time you may be better trying to keep an easier type of aquarium.
You could look at the size of tank you can afford and fit in your home. This
will help because unless you can accommodate a large aquarium some types of fish
will be suitable because they grow large. If you can only accommodate a small
aquarium it may suit you more to go for small tropical freshwater fish like
neon?s and other tetras.
Please think about the advice I?ve told you. You could also research some
aquarium bio-types you like by looking at books and asking aquatic staff on your
next visit.
