So you want to keep tropical fish and have a stunning aquarium sitting in your living room or anywhere else in your house for that matter. If you want your fish to thrive like the Asian carps instead of quickly vanish like the Roman anemones, it is important that you take the time to learn the basics about maintaining fish and proper aquarium maintenance before you set up your first fish aquarium.

The first decision you must make when you decide to start an aquarium is whether you plan to keep freshwater fish or saltwater fish. It's up to you whether you want to keep saltwater or freshwater, but if this is your first aquarium, then I suggest you start with a freshwater aquarium. As they are a bit easier to maintain and the results are easier to achieve.

Before you go out and buy some tropical aquarium fish you must take into consideration what will be required to get your tropical fish aquarium up and running smoothly. A simple 10 - 20 gallon aquarium will be big enough for most people and provide enough living space for 15-30 fish depending on the breeds you chose, as you purchase more tropical fish you will need to move up to the next sizes of aquariums. The next thing you will need for your aquarium is an Aquarium filter this keeps the water filtered so water stays pure and your fish stay healthy. When buying your aquarium filter be sure to also purchase some extra filters for it as you will need to replace them when they become dirty or clogged.

The next thing you will need to purchase to keep your tropical fish healthy and living well in your new aquarium is an aquarium heater. The aquarium heater keeps the temperature at one steady temp. There are many brands of aquarium heaters and they all work differently so be sure when you purchase one you read up on how to set your heater properly, because if it is not set properly this can be detrimental to your fish.
