Saltwater Aquarium vs Freshwater Tank - Pros & Cons
they'll sell you something that's suppose to make it hassle free but from what I learned, there's no such thing. at some point you'll have to manually clean the tank. when you do so, you risk killing your fish/plants or whatever.
Nothing special...my first two wave of fish died, They I decided to put gold fish in it when it is a heated tank and now they are losing all thier fins
I got a few tropical fish in there but 200 dollars worth of cichlids died
So then I said never again, and just brought trash fish for the kids to look at...
I never clean it cause I don't give a fukk and every time someone comes to my house I offer it for free...I have a 90 gallon filter on it so it stays pretty clear, and the fish I have in it now have been living for a year.... don't do it breh. Stay away. You will lose interest in it. It's not fascinating enough to hold a young brehs attention.
And for Gods sake, don't do salt water
I have a 55 gallon fresh water and HAD a 30 Long salt water, until my dumb ass got a fruit fly problem, and let the spray get in the saltwater tank
Yes, they are money pits. Especially that damn saltwater. Between live rock, salt, and substrate alone I spent close to $300.
My 55 is pretty much an African Cichlid tank, but I want to add some fresh water inverts

Gat damn breh
Did that kill them all off?
that shyt is expensive and takes A LOT of work to maintain.....had a 70 gallon half salt half fresh water tank with like 9 exotic fish. i used to get fresh filtered salt water free from the university so saved a lot of money on that. but eventually started slipping on the maintenance and all my coral died and the fish started dieing /eating each other.
when i first got the tank it was beautiful as fukk looking like christmas in heaven, 1 year later it looked like beetlejuice.

You have to feed Lizards crickets
With most fish you just put a couple of pellets in the tank and you're good to go.

I had tropical fish tank as a kid so these replies in here have me like 
I don't remember it being that hard to care for the tank or the fish.
One thing to keep to mind is not all fish species will get along, I had an pet fish once where every time a new one put in the tank I would be dead next the next morning, fish was murking any newcomers. So do you're research about the fish you will put in the tank and their behaviors, also Youtube is a good place to see different aquarium setups, I was just watching someone's reptile setup earlier.

What size aquarium you tryna set up?
I have a 29 gallon tiger barb set up 8 barbs and 4 cory catfish. with a fluval filter. Been running for 3 months no issues at all. I plan on getting a 55g soon also.

you can feed them worms. you can also buy the crickets 10 at a time 3 days a week and the lizard will eat them all at once...no noise. but the repeated trips to store are annoying.

I would suggest you start with a fresh water tank, less maintenance don't have to worry about about the water balance, a filter, some plants and a couple of underwater structures and you're good. Add 2 cleaning fish and a couple of guppies and a light.
If the fish last 3 months then you can upgrade to a salt water tank.
