A fish aquarium is the most beautiful and the best ornament one can have at home. A home aquarium can be of two types: a salt water aquarium and a tropical water aquarium. But, freshwater ones are preferred upon saltwater ones. Tropical fish are found all over the world. They are particularly found in tropical rain forests, swamps and even in some rice fields that have rice plants, surrounded by water.

The popularity of tropical fish for home aquarium is mostly because of the fish's bright colors. These freshwater fish are very colorful and active. If you are planning to purchase a tropical fish for your home aquarium then soon you'll be able to make it almost a maintenance free aquarium. While you are adding your fish try to have different kinds of them so as to keep your aquarium clean as well. It will be a good idea to have a shark or a catfish that swim at lower water levels and keep the home aquarium clean.

Home aquariums are, usually not that big to accomodate too many fish. So, it is imperative to have a smaller number of them that can survive in the aquarium's space easily. If you are going for a tropical fish then try to keep 4 inch per fish so as to have peace among them all.

At times people living in apartments are not allowed to have pets because of the cleaning and some other reasons. But, you will be glad to know that fish are not considered as pets. This is because they do not need too much maintenance and effort for cleaning them. Most of the people, even those who do not like pets, are happy to have fish because of their exotic nature.

You may get a home aquarium fixed into some wall. This will give a moving picture kind of view. But, remember that the maintenance work needed for such a home aquarium is quite enough. But, another interesting thing that you can do is to change the lighting in fish aquarium. As, fish are not very happy with too much of light so try to keep the light dim but enough for you to be able to watch them move around.
