Freshwater first are the best in terms of fish with which to start a collection as they are a hardier and more resistant to water temperature and pH variations. However, it is still a fish and therefore requires fresh water that is full of oxygen. And as any other living thing, a fish creates natural wastes. If the wastes are dealt with effectively, they can wind up hurting the fish in the long term. When ammonia is present, oxygen begins to decrease which is why you add not just a filter to your aquarium, you also add other living things which can absorb these wastes. underwater plants, like many others above the surface produce oxygen as they grow, making them an excellent addition to any freshwater aquarium. Things to consider as you are buying your tank is the type of light, hood, stand and thermometer you wish to use. These can have an impact on the growth of the plants and water temperature.
How to choose the proper aquarium
Aquarium volumes are measured in terms of cubic decimeters or quarts. The good tanks range in size from about 45 liter all the way up to 130 liters at a maximum. These tanks tend to be marked by their length and depth as well as the fact that they are easy to clean.

Lights are critical to the health of the plants in your tank. The one real problem that they cause is the build-up of algae which you will be required to clean on a regular basis or else the water purity may begin to be reduced. The lights also give off significant amounts of heat which may affect the water temperature. When thinking about lights it is important to find a balance between a light strong enough for plants to grow without causing the fish in the tank undue stress, both in terms of the brilliance of the light and the heat which they give off.
The importance of choosing a good hood
The hood is the apparatus that acts as a lid fro your tank and keeps the fish from making a jump for it and dying on your floor.
