Fresh Water Aquariums

When we talk about Fresh Water Aquariums, we mean fish from tropical fresh waters that live well in temperatures between 72 and 78 degrees F, as well as goldfish and other cold water species.

There are several reasons to select a fresh water aquarium:

1. They require service only once a month
2. They can do well with a relatively simple filtration system
3. They are usually less expensive than salt water aquariums
4. They provide the gentle, relaxing beautiful movements of the fish and the swaying plants that are so beneficial in today’s super-hectic society.
5. If planned ahead, they can be upgraded to salt water in the future.
6. They can be set up and stocked quickly (completely installed in a pre-built cabinet in one day) once all of the hardgoods have been acquired.
7. They can be installed where space is a premium. We usually recommend a minimum of a 55 gallon aquarium for salt water.

One surgeon wanted a salt water aquarium for his office, but the time-line of the grand opening would not allow for a fully-stocked salt water aquarium. We set the aquarium up with fancy goldfish imported from China for the office opening. He liked them so much, he kept these exotic goldfish – and the staff named every one of them and their babies.
