These fish are suitable for your aquarium
For beginners, we recommend to either use the heated aquarium for tropical ornamental fish or the unheated goldfish aquarium. Ask your local pet store which fish are compatible with each other so your new community can harmoniously coexist. Our suggestion: In order to enjoy the exciting life in your aquarium water to a maximum, all water layers should be inhabited. Your local pet shop owner knows plenty about which fish swim on the water surface, which fish make use of the entire basin, and whether it is advisable to keep some dwarf shrimp for movement at the bottom of your aquarium. Also ask for the right aquarium technology: while goldfish live in cold water, Guppies and similar types of fish need warmer temperatures and thus an aquarium heater.
Which aquarium is right for me?
In order to enjoy your new aquarium for a long time, you should be sure about the appropriate size, furnishing and the right position. The size of the aquarium determines the type and number of fish that can live in it and also affects the amount of time that you should plan for the care of the aquarium. For a perfect starter aquarium you will find the Tetra AquaArt Complete Sets in sizes 30 & 60 Liters. Our sets are already equipped with the proper filter media and a heater (60L only) so that you have everything that you need and get started right away. Your aquarium is ideally placed in such a way that it is easily accessible, in a quiet place away from radiators, cold air or direct sunlight. Put it on a flat surface that can carry the weight of the water, e.g. on top of an aquarium cabinet.

Make an attractive habitat
Plants, roots and other decoration make your aquarium into a beautiful eye-catcher and at the same time fulfill vital functions in your habitat. Aquatic plants produce oxygen and provide your aquarium fish with hiding places. The correct substrate provides the plant’s roots with grip. Decoration elements, such as tree roots, rocks, or even posters for the aquarium background provide visual variety and always bring a new look in your underwater world.
