Hi! I am Marc representing expertvillage.com. I am going to talk to you a little bit about starter fish for saltwater aquariums. Like freshwater aquariums you have to have a biological nitrogen cycle process started for your fish tank to eventually be safe for all the fish you want to add. Again the same rule is applied to saltwater as do freshwater, you want inexpensive and durable, you may build around those fish later, more than likely in saltwater you will not, some of these fish have a mean temperament, the fish we are speaking of now is a yellowtail damsel, there are many types of damsels, they are again inexpensive, quite durable, quite aggressive and do cycle pretty well. There are other fish you can cycle with as well, you might recognize the famous clown fish there, they can cycle sometimes pretty well and certain tank fish can as well. Again you want to follow a simple rule, inexpensive fish and tough fish. If you need more information on this you can hear this on our website www.underwaterdepot.net.
