Deciding on whether to have a freshwater or saltwater aquarium!

It is probably one of the most important decisions you’re going to have to make with regards to the fish tank. So which one is best for you?
Both types of aquarium have their rewards and challenges and both are incredibly stunning showpieces for your room. There are, however, a number of aspects that differentiate the two.
When it comes to choosing which ecosystem you want, it’s not all about aesthetics. Cost and maintenance are two major factors you need to consider as well.

Fresh Water Aquarium

Freshwater tropical aquariums with artificial rock and plants (Aquascaping) are a great place to start in your fish keeping hobby. Colourful and natural, they provide an impressive visual whilst requiring a less demanding maintenance regime and lower operating costs.
The livestock in freshwater aquaria are inhabitants from rivers, lakes and streams. They aren’t always as vibrantly coloured as saltwater aquarium creatures, but can definitely come in an array of amazing patterns and uniquely fascinating shapes. The combination of the earthy colours and sleek lines of freshwater fish and fauna can look particularly striking in a luxurious interior.
Freshwater inhabitants tend to be much hardier and generally less expensive than saltwater aquarium inhabitants. If any problems ever were to occur in the maintenance of the aquarium environment, freshwater creatures are more forgiving and less fragile than saltwater.
