Creating an underwater world.
An aquarium is more than just fish and coral in a tank, it’s bringing a small piece of the water world — which is 70% of this planet we’re on — into your own space.
There’s all types of fish. All types of coral. All types of environments.
Diving into aquariums means learning how to care for animals and creatures we’re not often familiar with.
A simple start
Aquariums can be as small as a gallon container or as big as a bookshelf.
But there are some key features to ensure success:
Water type (i.e. saltwater or fresh water)
Size of container relative to the fish / coral
Filters
Tools to maintain

Ethical, moral, eco-friendly
Aquariums are taking care of real, living organisms. Just like dogs, cats, and birds.
Many aquarium hobbyists and suppliers are specific in encouraging and maintaining an ethical approach to continuing the hobby.
We highly recommend researching and asking suppliers where they are sourcing their fish, corals, and materials.
Finding more help
We’re working to expand this page on aquariums and it takes time. In the meantime, if you’re looking for more help to starting your aquarium, we recommend visiting your local aquarium store:
Local Aquarium Store — in these local shops, not chains, you can speak with somebody who is well-versed in the hobby. We recommend visiting with a rough idea of what kind of aquarium you want and can fit.
