Although the initial phase of choosing and setting up an aquarium can be overwhelming, the payoff is worth it. Though you can find them as small as 6 gallons, most people prefer a saltwater setup to be a minimum of 20 gallons. For those that are truly experienced and up to the challenge of maintenance, there are also saltwater tanks for more complex species such as coral.

There are also larger scale freshwater tanks that usually range anywhere from 10 gallons up to 60 gallons so that you can accommodate multiple species at once. There are desktop tanks that can range anywhere from 1 gallon to 20 gallons, and provide environments for Betta Fish, Goldfish, Guppies, Tetras, and more. There are so many aquariums out there to choose from it’s usually best to first decide what fish you would like to house. Many look like works of art all on their own with sleek edges and modern colors. The kits available nowadays come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Aquariums are no longer a basic little plastic or glass box to be forgotten about in the corner of a child’s room.
