I am thinking about starting a saltwater aquarium. I already have a cute little betta in a freshwater aquarium so I have some "experience". My questions are:
- I've seen a 10 gallons who look like a nano cube. It was very cheap (200$ Can for everything including live rocks and 2 clowns). Is 10 gallons enough for 2 clowns and a cleaner shrimp? I know the clown will survive but will they be happy or is their just too little space to swim?
- Some guy at a store told me I'd have to clean the aquarium every 2 days if I go with the 10 gallon. Is this true? I'll be having a cleaner shrimp and some snails so I'm wondering if they can do the job themselves.
- For 200$ more I can get a 20 gallons. I don't really want any more fishes to start so I'm wondering if I'll be wasting my money (I'm on a budget) or if it will make a lot of differences in my little fishs' lives (ie: will they truly be happy or will they laugh at me for spending money - I could have put my betta in a betta bowl but I think it's ridiculous that's why I got him a 3 gallon Betta condo).
Thanks in advance.
