Saltwater fish are a popular choice for home aquariums. There is something very special about keeping a fish tank full of exotic and colorful marine species. If you are interested in having your own saltwater aquarium the following species may be worth considering.

Clownfish are a common choice for saltwater tanks. They are small, easy to care for and are available in an assortment of bright and bold colors. If you have young kids that are fans of the movie Finding Nemo, they will be amazed at being able to have and take care of their very own Nemo.

Though seahorses cannot be described as true fish, they are still a popular addition to residential aquariums. Many of us are left dumbfounded by the grace and agility of these very special animals. After a hard day at work it is easy to unwind by spending time observing these delicate creatures gently swimming around.

Every saltwater aquarium requires some amount of regular maintenance. For this reason you may find it suitable to opt for a species that is hardy and tough, damsel fish would make a great choice. They can withstand a greater fluctuation in salinity and water temperatures as compared to other species, in fact they are a great addition to a new tank as they can efficiently filter ammonia which may be present in the water. There are a selection of damsel breeds, the yellow tailed variety are suggested to have the longest lifespan.

Another option worth considering is the basslet. These are vibrant and colorful and make an excellent addition to any saltwater aquarium. The most popular basslets are the royal cap, royal gramma, and the chalk basslet.

It is important not to overstock the tank. If you were to place too many individuals in a small aquarium disease and sickness may soon take a toll. Always start with a few select fish then gradually over the months increase the numbers. If there are too many the tank may quickly become polluted with excreta.

To help in maintaining clean water there is always the option of introducing a few hermit crabs or snails. They will help to break down organic debris into harmless products. It is of value to purchase a water testing kit which can be used on a regular basis to check on ammonia and nitrate levels. Maintaining a salt-water aquarium is not as straightforward as a freshwater tank, though it is equally rewarding.
