Three People: Three Aquariums

Aquariums and fish keeping can suit many different types of people

. Right from the young through to the old, with small budgets to high end budgets there is always something for everyone. In this article we've attempted to box people onto stereotypes and then discuss the appropriate aquarium options for that group. The point we're trying to make in all of this is that unlike keeping other pet, fish keeping gives you so many different options both in the species you choose to keep, and the way in which you choose to keep them. Of course, this article doesn't cover everything and there are many more options that have been left unexplained.Kids...Often, keeping goldfish is the first foray into aquariums and fish keeping. For kids, it provides an enjoyable hobby that is also inexpensive for their parents to maintain. The classic image of this is the round goldfish bowl stocked with goldfish won as prizes at the local funfair. The average life span of goldfish can be quite short and many kids are bitterly disappointed to find their little loved one floating on the surface mere weeks after joining the family. However, when treated properly they should survive for over 12 months, with the world record being a staggering 43 years!Average Joe...For most adults who decide to keep fish, not only are they investing in a new hobby and a pet, the aquarium also serves a decorative purpose within the home. Even your standard aquarium set up can look amazing with some decent lighting and colourful stock of fish. Basic tanks can be purchased and set up for around the 100 mark, with further options for lighting and decorative stand units. Most people who choose to have an aquarium for decorative use, will probably decide to stock their new tank with tropical fish species. The variation on colours can be incredible and this adds to the ideal of a 'living picture'.Flash Gordon...Moving into the upper realms of the fish keeping world, bespoke aquariums can be designed to fit into almost anything. In wall, through wall, table aquariums and floor aquariums are to name but a few. If you have the budget available, the only limiting factor you have is your imagination. The sky really is the limit and there are many companies out there that specialise in custom aquarium installations. With some good design work, these bespoke solutions can add a stunning and dramatic effect to any room or work space and they are especially popular with high end restaurants and bars.
