I think a nicely set up freshwater tank can look just as good for a fraction of the cost. |
I quite agree! Currently I have a twenty gallon freshwater tank with ten goldfish in it&I love it! Sooooo easy to take care of¬ expensive at all. &just because they're goldfish doesn't mean that they're ugly, either. There are many different varieties of goldfish&there's a lot of beautiful ones out there. I think I paid 200$ for the twenty-gallon tank&another 100$ for the stand. The fish were also kind of pricey as well. I think I paid a total of 100$ for all ten fish! But after you pay all of that stuff, everything else is pretty cheap. Their food is about five bucks&it lasts me about a month. I change the filter once a month. A box of eight large filter bags costs me about eleven dollars, which I get at WalMart or a local pet shop. Gravel for the bottom was about two bucks for a five pound bag. Good luck&I hope you find something that works for you!
