Aquariums
Aquariums (or aquaria) are tanks with at least one transparent side in which fish and other types of water-dwelling creatures and plants are kept.

Fish tanks
Modern fish tanks come in countless shapes and sizes. The most common are rectangular home tanks made from glass or acrylic.

Aquarium supplies
Necessary aquarium supplies will vary depending on the size and type of aquarium.

Fish tank supplies
Freshwater fish tank supplies are easier to come by and less costly than their saltwater counterparts.

Aquarium fish
When buying aquarium fish there are several attributes to look for so dive in and shop around.

Saltwater aquariums
The first saltwater aquariums were simple glass jars and marble bowls used by the Romans.

Freshwater aquariums
Freshwater aquariums are by far the most popular type because they are less expensive and easier to maintain than saltwater tanks.

Reef aquariums
Reef aquariums are a specific type of marine aquarium designed to accommodate coral.

Aquarium lighting
Aquarium lighting is good for the plants and animals inside the tank as well as those watching from outside.

Aquarium hoods
Homemade aquarium hoods are fairly simple to build and may be necessary for anyone with an odd sized or shaped fish tank.

Acrylic aquariums
Acrylic aquariums are a fairly recent development but it’s likely that they will take the place of glass fish tanks in the near future.

Aquarium decor
Popular aquarium décor includes fake plants, diver figurines, skulls and castles or other buildings.
