Many beginners make a mistake by buying an aquarium first before deciding which fish to keep. Even though, The type of aquarium needed depends on the type of fish.
Try answering these questions to determine what kind of aquarium you need:
1. What kind of fish do you want to keep? Are they freshwater or saltwater fish?
2. For freshwater fish, does the fish you want live in cold or warm water?
3. Which tropical freshwater fish are you interested in keeping? Do they have a tendency to be aggressive or live in harmony with others?
4. For fish that live in the sea, can they survive on rocks alone or do they need to live in a special ecosystem? For example, does it need to live in a coral reef ecosystem, a seahorse ecosystem, etc.?
