Saltwater Aquarium

29 13:53:25

Saltwater aquariums are for fish that can only live in salt
water obviously. Some of the fish are grouped for example
triggers and groupers. Each play their part in the salt water
aquarium set up. You can also keep corals and anemones as well
as saltwater fish, but avoid things like crabs and shrimps and
snails as they will try to eat the anemones.

Fish are a beautiful addition to this kind of tank, the lights
accentuate the beauty of the fish and the tank looks like the
deep blue sea, try to add a solid blue background at the back of
the tank and the light will make the tank look fantastic and
like something that you will only see in movies. There are lots
if different fish that are available to be put in the tanks such
as: Lion Fish, Puffer Fish, Eels, Panther Groupers, Shrimps,
Crabs and dog puffers. Each of these fish is stunning and under
the light of tank against the deep blue background will keep you
in awe!

Another variant that you can keep in a saltwater aquarium is a
coral or an anemone. Some people only have these types of living
things in their saltwater tank but they can be put in with some
fish, most other fish will try to eat them especially the
anemones. These types of plants are living, the anemones need to
be hand fed, you should just place the food on top of it and it
will then curl itself around the food and open up its mouth and
feed itself, its is a miraculous thing to watch.

Saltwater aquariums are like watching the ocean, the colours
bounce of the fish and hey all get on so well, but it is like
any other type of fish species; if it is smaller it will get
eaten by something bigger. You also have to watch out because
some of the fish are poisonous, for example the lion fish; its
tentacles if touched will sting your hand and you need to seek
medical help straight away! Saltwater aquariums are only for the
professional fish keeper though, as it takes a lot of work to
get the conditions for the fish correct, the saltwater needs to
be at a safe level as does the temperature and the PH. This is a
hard work task but the rewards are well worth the effort.
