Buying a Bayshore Wall Aquarium or Wall Fish Tank

Bayshore Aquarium's wall aquarium fish tank was originally designed in Australia. It is one of the most beautiful "living art" wall mounted aquariums sold in the World! These gorgeous wall fish tanks are designed with brushed aluminum plated frames making them much lighter than stainless steel yet durable to sustain rust. Each wall aquarium is created with safe tempered glass (5mm thick) or bubble acrylic. The depth of the wall aquarium from the wall to the face of the frame is only 4.5" giving it an appearance of a stunning wall mounted painting yet deep enough room for your fish to play and swim in. You can turn this wall fish tank into a saltwater or fresh water wall aquarium. These wall aquariums are very hard to find, absolutely breathtaking, the perfect conversation piece, a space saver and will be the center piece of anywhere you place it.

DIFFERENT SHAPES, SIZES AND COLORS We offer many different shapes and sizes of wall aquarium fish tanks for you to choose from.

We recommend FRESH WATER fish for all tanks. If you want to do a SALT WATER fish tank you should only do it in tanks larger than 6 gallons...and even then, preferably 9 gallons or larger.

FRESH WATER FISH

If this is your first aquarium then you may want to set up a freshwater tank. Freshwater tanks are much easier to maintain, and the fish are less expensive too. In addition, it is more difficult to maintain the proper water conditions in a saltwater tank than in a freshwater tank. In general, it is easier to begin with a freshwater tank, however, even if you are a beginner it isn't impossible to succeed in setting up a saltwater tank. If you are interested in setting up a saltwater tank please see the article Setting Up a Saltwater Aquarium.

If you only want a small fish that will live by itself then we recommend a Betta. They do not get along with other Bettas. They require very little maintenace or special chemicals.

If you would like a community of the same fish with a lot of different colors we recommend African Cichlids. They are very low maintenance and are very responsive (interactive) when you walk up to your wall fish tank.

If you want a community of various fish we recommend a few male guppies, tetras, glofish, platys, mollies, sword tails, or any danio.

We do not recommend gold fish. Yes, they are very cheap, but they are very dirty. They eat and create waste a lot! And, gold fish can be toxic to other fish because of all the bacteria they create.

The most important thing is to enjoy your fish. Watch for a few minutes when you can and relax. An aquarium is suppose to be calming, not a lot of work. And our wall aquariums were designed for that reason. They are simple to maintain and are easy to enjoy.
SALT WATER FISH

A general rule of thumb is One 1" saltwater fish per 4 gallons of water. We do not recommend saltwater fish for any tank less than 6 gallons. We the following:
Medium Wall Fish Tank (Panoramic, Bubble, or Rectangular) 2-3 Saltwater fish with water changes every 2 weeks.
Large Wall Fish Tank (Panoramic and Rectangular) 3-4 Saltwater fish with water changes every 2-3 weeks.
Mega Wall Fish Tank (Rectangular) 4-7 Saltwater fish with water changes every 2-3 weeks.
Invertebrates do not count toward the fish total!

If you are just beginning your journey into saltwater fish keeping you should know that some marine fish are easier to keep in captivity than others. The following saltwater fish are good choices for the beginner:

Damsels

These are great saltwater fish for beginners. They come in several different colors. They tolerate changes in water fluctuations better than most other saltwater fish and they will eat a variety of aquarium foods, such as flakes, frozen, freeze-dried, and live food. They are also relatively small about 3-4 inches at most.

The yellow-tailed blue damsel (Chrysiptera parasema) and the blue damsel (Chrysiptera cyanea) in particular are beautiful and peaceful fish that will even spawn in captivity. You can usually purchase them for around 3 to 5 dollars each.

Clownfish

ClownfishClownfish (also known as anemonefish due to their symbiotic relationship with anemomes) are also good beginner fish. They are from the genus Amphiprion and there are several different species.

Despite the ability of clownfish to exist among anemones without getting stung by their tentacles, it is possible to keep clownfish without anemones. Clownfish are relatively easy to keep, but keeping anemones is more difficult and so if you are a beginner you may want to wait until you are more experienced at marine fishkeeping before you acquire one. Because clownfish like to hide among anemones they may feel safer with one present however.

Also, note that clownfish tend to be somewhat territorial toward members of their own species. Depending on the species of clownfish you are interested in they can be acquired for around 10 to 30 dollars each.

Cleaning Goby Goby Aquarium Care Requirements Cleaning gobies are pretty hardy little fish and they usually do well in captivity. They often spawn in the aquarium.

While it is true that they will eat external parasites off of other fish, you will still need to supplement their diet. Feed your cleaner gobies marine foods for carnivores - mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and other meaty-based preparations for saltwater fish.

In addition, you should provide them with plenty of well-established live rock. Cleaner gobies not only graze on the live rock, but they also use it for hiding places. Almost ALL fish feel more secure when they have places to hide.

Cardinal Fish

Cardinalfish don't grow very large and the Banggai cardinalfish only reaches an adult size of about 3-4 inches (8-10 cm). They are good fish for reef tanks and they are peaceful fish that shouldn't be kept with agressive species or fin nippers. You should keep a group of about 6 cardinalfish together providing you have room in your tank. Be sure to provide plenty of rockwork for hiding places.

Cardinalfish are carnivores. They will eat meaty frozen or live foods as well as vitamin enriched brine shrimp. You can also feed them finely chopped shrimp or squid.

Bicolor dottyback The bicolor dottyback (Pseudochromis paccagnellae) is also known as the royal dottyback. It is a brilliantly colored marine fish from the Indo-Pacific.

This fish is very similar in coloration to the Fairy Basslet (Royal Gramma). However, the bicolor dottyback is even smaller than the fairy basslet. The bicolor dottyback reaches a maximum adult size of only 2 inches (5 cm) in length.

Hawkfish

Hawkfish are small fish that lack swim bladders. They can't swim well and so they spend most of their time resting on the bottom of the aquarium. They get around by hopping from one place to another. They are relatively peaceful fish and there are several different kinds. They are meat eating fish and generally don't eat plants. They will eat live, frozen, and freeze-dried foods, and possibly flakes (but not always). In the wild they prefer shallow water and they feed on small fish and crustaceans.

One interesting aspect of hawkfishes is that they seem to have a bit of a personality in that they seem to be more aware of what is going on both in and outside of their tank. They generally cost between 10 to 30 dollars each depending on the species.
