Most people are under the impression that maintaining a saltwater aquarium is infinitely more difficult than maintaining a freshwater one.
This is not true.
The fact of the matter is that keeping saltwater fish is not necessarily more difficult, you just need to provide the suitable environment and take proper care of the fish.
The choices of fish that you get with saltwater aquariums are outstanding.
A beautiful looking marine tank can be used to add to the ambience of shopping malls, restaurants, homes and offices.
At home, you can place it in the general activity area or your own room to add a touch of nature to the environment.
Moreover, you don't have to purchase a ready-made tank with pre-defined corners and size; you can find a service that provides custom saltwater aquariums for commercial and home use.
Along with design, there are also other choices that you can make.
You can select custom saltwater aquariums that only contain fish.
These aquariums will not have any type of corals, anemones or clams.
They will only have fish and maybe some mobile vertebrates that will help in cleaning the tank.
There are several choices of fish to choose from for your saltwater aquarium.
Here are two fish you can consider keeping.
Tangs (Surgeonfish) These show a fair amount of hardiness, but they are very susceptible to marine ich.
They eat algae therefore can prove helpful when in saltwater aquariums that start growing algae.
Leafy green diet should be provided to them in tanks where there are no green algae.
Several different tangs are usually available for reasonable prices.
Clownfish Clownfish are fairly hardy, but it is more difficult to keep them in new aquariums.
They are generally very territorial, but don't show aggression towards other fish except their own kind.
They can be easily kept with an anemone, which is good since the difficulty level associated with keeping anemones is much higher.
Also, each species of clowns shows affinity towards a particular species of anemone.
These fish are both caught from the wild and raised in captivity.
Custom saltwater Aquariums can also be reef aquariums.
These contain different types of life forms, with emphasis on corals and anemones.
These aquariums normally contain a wide variety of species that need an extremely specialized setup.
