which is better freshwater or saltwater??

[SteveFishman]

Salwater is like 253523836363683583683 times better

freshwater is sooooo much better,the only good thing about saltwater is the inverts.

 

[SteveFishman]

Freshwater is too simple

 

[alLexX]

not when your 13

 

[SteveFishman]

I'm 14 and I have a saltwater and freshwater tanks

 

[jenatron]

Saltwater, and I used to be a total freshy. There's so much more beautiful, interesting life in reefs.

Someone finally understands

Freshwater. =] I like to have planted tanks. And I like the variety without having to sacrifice my life savings.

Not knocking you, but have you seen the price of an arowana or a discus? Makes a bunch of fish in the SW game look like guppies price-wise.

Not to mention a high-tech planted tank can get just as pricey if not pricier than a SW reef.


I'm more into SW because of the brighter colors I seem to find and the beautiful corals are really what gets me nowadays.

I'd definitely love to have a few Iwagumi or ADA planted tanks though, CRS and microrasboras/microdevario/boraras are awesome little fish

To say one or the other is 'better' is like saying pepsi is better than coke, or vice versa. It's all about what you prefer. For me, its planted tanks. For some, its reefs. Others, its african cichlid tanks. There are millions of other tanks as well. So, my answer is neither, though my preference is FW.

 

[alLexX]

but pepsi is better than coke...

Way to get technical Rookie.

I love fish...period! There are challenges and rewards for both type of tanks. My goal is to have all type of tanks including a nice planted tank in the future.

Freshwater. It's more basic and tranquil, rather then saltwater, which is neon and active... I thought fish were supposed to lower your blood pressure... Not the opposite! Lol. Just IMO.

I concur

Anyone who thinks FW is easy needs to try running a high tech nano tank and keeping everything in balance.

I'm also with 'rook... it isn't that 1 is better than the other. There are a myriad of challenging setups on both sides that can bring a lot of enjoyment.

 

[SteveFishman]

Salt is amazing always learning new things, always finding new things, and the fish are way cooler anyways

yeah, I guess my taste in FW fish is a little less expensive... it's true that discus can really get up there...

 

[SteveFishman]

On AVERAGE I bet saltwater tanks cost 3 times as much as freshwater tanks

 

[alLexX]

yeah,i once saw a saltwater fish for 300 dollars.the most ive seen for a freshwater fish was 200 dollars.and ive only seen the freshwater one on the internet,ive seen multiple stores carrying the saltwater one.
