Question
Good Morning to you! My name is Ponqsitivokas, and I have a very interesting question, which probably nobody has asked. Do you know of any 'benefits' and aquarium could potentially have on someone's life? I'm sorry for asking such a silly question, but do you have any thoughts? If you don't that's perfectly fine, but if you do, I really want to find out! You see, I'm thinking of starting an aquarium and I want to know if there's benefits.

Answer
Hi Ponqsitivokas,

That's a very good question you asked! Fortunately, I know the answer from personal experience!
Believe it or not, you're not the only one who's asked this!

An aquarium has many benefits, including:
- The personal sense of accomplishment and joy in taking care of thriving living beings!
- The calmness and tranquility of a peacefully splashing underwater environment in your home!
- Scientific research shows that looking at an aquarium is proven to reduce stress!
- Guests to your home will be pleasantly surprised!
- Helps you learn about freshwater and marine life in your own home!
- Very small power consumption
- Not a lot of time is needed to take care of the aquarium! (Max 30 mins a week for a small one)

An aquarium is very relaxing, especially if you put live plants into it. Plants gently sway in the current of the filter, and it's a bit like looking into a real underwater scene right in the living room! You'll find that it is a real stress reliever.

I hope you decide to enter the hobby of freshwater aquarium keeping - and if you choose to do so, there's many of options you can decide on. Explore the fascination of the extremely popular aquarium hobby!

Good Luck, future fishkeeper!
