When starting into the world of fish tanks, the first step may be making a cold water aquarium. This is a good introduction to taking care of fish and an aquarium. Warm water aquariums take more work and many people new to the world of fish find the experience too much work. A cold water aquarium can be a way to learn about tropical fish species and how to care for them. Setting Up A Cold Water Tank For Specific Tropical Fish Species When setting up any type of aquarium, the first step is to purchase an aquarium, a stand, a cover and a lid. Depending on what type of tropical fish species that is being selected, the size of the tank may vary. Many people begin with a 10 gallon tank. This can usually hold a variety of fish and is a good size to begin with. A 10 gallon tank can hold five fish that are 2 inches long. This can be a good starting point to discover which tropical fish species are more interesting to you. Also be sure to purchase a filter and water conditioner. Set the tank up and follow the directions on the water conditioner. Let the tank set for several days before adding any fish. Some types of tropical fish species that will work well within a cold water tank including all of the varieties of Goldfish. When placing fish in the tank initially, make sure to just put two or three to see how they will do in the new environment. If after several weeks, they seem to be thriving, consider adding more fish to the aquarium. There are many different tropical fish species within the Goldfish family. Some other tropical fish species that will work with a cold tank include White Clouds. These fish survive very well within a community of fish. Crabs, Tadpoles and Aquatic Snails also will survive well in a cold water tank. Plants can be added too, making the environment very attractive. Make sure that your cold water tank is put someplace out of the sun, as the sunlight encourages algae growth. A Catfish can help with the algae accumulation, but will be unable to keep up if the tank is in the sun. Tropical fish species do well in either cold or warm water tanks. For the beginner, a cold water tank may be the best idea as they do take less work and are still a pleasure to have.
