How much would it cost to start a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium?

Posted by admin in Friday, July 3rd 2009 under: aquarium supplies

I am planning on starting a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium. I can’t really find many 10 gallon starter kits online or in stores. Would it be cheaper just to buy everything separately or in a kit? And where can I find a 10 gallon starter kit. I live in the D/FW Texas area. I need info on prices minus the fish. I’m just worried about supplies at this point. Help PLEASE?!?!?!

Well I would go with Petsmart over wall mart. Petsmart use top fin, great tanks. The starter will run around 40. Less if you are going gold fish. The rest is up to you. The deco can run 7 bucks on up. Then there is the gravel, air stones, pump, thermometer, air tubing, suction cups, and maybe even salt. What kind of fish are you going with? That will have alot to do with setting up your tank as well.

How to look after a tropical fish tank ONE DAY=DURATION OF OPEN TIME?

First off, this question is only going to be open for one day, as I’m going to go to the fish store tomorrow. How can you make sure fish will stay alive in a tropical fish tank. I’ve left the water for 1 wk. Got a filter and heater. All I need is the fish, but I want the fish to stay alive, any help? Thanks to everyone who helps =0]

Just leaving the water for one week does NOT make it safe for fish. You need to trigger the nitrogen cycle. If you go out tomorrow and buy fish THEN the cycle will start, the water will slowly turn toxic and your new fish will start to get sick.

Fishkeeping teaches patience. Those fish will still be in the stores in a few weeks time. A rushed tank is a sickly tank!
