Which aquarium is suitable for different types of animals?

The most important thing is to consider the aquarium with its future inhabitants. Fish and turtles have different needs - from the shape of the aquarium to the necessary equipment.

• For fish - classic aquariums with a glass body, filter and lighting;
  
• For turtles - shallower models with a place to go out on dry land;
  
• Combined aquariums - suitable for several different species;
  
• Mini aquariums - a great choice for children or as decoration;
  
• Nano aquariums - stylish, compact and perfect for small spaces.
  

A well-chosen aquarium will provide the animals with a comfortable and healthy environment - and you - pleasure from watching them.

What size and shape should you choose?

Start with how many and what kind of animals you will keep. A larger aquarium means a more stable environment and less care in the long run.

• Up to 20 liters – compact, easy to maintain;
  
• From 20 to 80 liters – the golden mean for most hobby aquarists;
  
• Over 100 liters – for experienced keepers or more exotic species;
  
• Rectangular shape – the most common and convenient;
  
• Panoramic/angular shape – a stylish accent in the interior.
  

The larger the aquarium, the easier it is to keep the water clean and the inhabitants – healthy.

What equipment do you need for a good start?

The aquarium itself is not enough – you need to equip it properly to create a balanced aquatic environment.

• Filter – a must for clean water;
  
• Lighting – helps the plants and emphasizes the beauty of the fish;
  
• Heater – necessary for tropical species;
  
• Thermometer – to monitor the temperature;
  
• Gravel, roots and plants – make the aquarium cozy;
  

A well-equipped environment is not only more beautiful, but also significantly extends the life of the inhabitants.

What is the price of aquariums and what does it depend on?

Aquarium prices can vary greatly. It depends on the size, brand and whether it comes with equipment.

• Starter models – from about 15 Euro;
