Choosing the Right Aquarium - a Fresh Water or a Saltwater
An aquarium can be a great addition to Your Interior decorations. If you are looking to add a certain level of style and beauty to your home or office, having an aquarium can do just that. While deciding to choose an aquarium for your house you may have wondered which one to choose from. There are endless possibilities when setting up an aquarium in Your Own home. If you are installing aquarium for the first time, you need to know many tit bits of keeping fish healthy and in a comfortable environment.
For people who are new to domesticating fish, starting with a small tank with less number of fishes is a good idea. This will give them time to understand the needs and will train them in many aspects that need to be taken care of before installing a fish aquarium or constructing a Fish Pond. For starters, the tank will need a Pond Pump, lighting, hood to prevent the fish from jumping out, a filter to keep the water clean, water testing kit for PH water levels etc. And when switching to a larger aquarium or a fish pond you will require many aquarium accessories like aquarium pumps, pond filters and pump, pond liners, water fountains, garden fountains and many other pond and aquarium supplies.
Know lets talk about which one to choose-a freshwater aquarium or a saltwater one. Many people choose a freshwater aquarium over a saltwater aquarium without really looking into the benefits and drawbacks of both. In my opinion if you have a good budget to invest on your aquarium needs, then you should definitely look into a saltwater aquarium. While people tend to go the freshwater direction due to the fact that it is a much cheaper alternative, the beauty and variety that having a saltwater aquarium affords you is not easily surpassed.
Moreover in a saltwater aquarium, you have much more variety of Tropical Fish to choose from. Clownfish, Hawk Fish, Blue Tang and many more varieties can be bred in a saltwater aquarium. The tropical fish are bright, colorful and lively —all of the things that you need in an aquarium to help you feel better about your space and more alive. The fish that you can have in a saltwater aquarium are a great deal more exotic and beautiful than anything a freshwater aquarium could house.
Maintenance is yet another factor that should be considered while choosing a tropical aquarium for your house. If you don’t’ have time to indulge in aquarium maintenance, having a saltwater aquarium is a bad idea. There are people who tend to go the freshwater direction due to the fact that it is a much cheaper alternative and need less maintenance and cleaning. Whatever type you choose an aquarium definitely adds a touch of your personal character to a home or office environment.

Should i get a Siamese Fighting Fish?
I have always liked siamese fighting fish but have always stuck to coldwater fish such as goldfish. After doing plenty of research on the internet i have discovered they are not actually not that hard to care for. I currently have this coldwater tank : http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/el/elite-cool-21ltr-blue-goldfish-aquarium-kit-by-elite.jpg .. Which is 21 litres. I have a goldfish in there and a filter. I was wondering that after the goldfish passes away how would i set up my tank for a Betta? What would i need to do and how would i heat the water for a betta?
thanks 
(I live in England and my tank is not too small for a goldfish like people have said on here.. My goldfish is not a Pond Fish but just a normal small house fish that is only 3 cm big, my tank is able to hold 6 goldfish.. i did have 2 but one recently passed away.)
Beta's prefer small enclosures. Your tanks seems small enough for a beta. Live plants would be nice in the tank, becuase they like to swim in and out of the flowing fronds. Males in the wild will find a small territory, and live there, guard it, protect it. So just give him lots of hiding places and let him live alone. He'll be happy. Even when you give him a female, he may still kill her to defend his territory. For the temperature, anything in the range of 75-85 degrees should be fine. Go here, lots of great information about betas.
