Betta splendens, or Siamese fighting fish is probably the most common fish to keep in five gallon containers. They can live for over five years if the water conditions remain suitable.

Research before getting any fish, and have the tank set up for at least six weeks prior to introducing the fish.

How much does it cost for a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium?

It depends on what your trying to accomplish, what your going to be keeping in it, as well as the material of the tank itself. Glass or Acrylic. You can have a Fish Only system, FOWLER system, or a REEF system. Reefs are the most expensive and will run around $3,000 for a 55 Gallon set up Makesure you focus mainly on 5 things in a reef Aquarium and they are... Water Flow Lighting Protein Skimmer Berlin Style Open Sump Large amounts of live rock (1 - 5 pound/ Gallon) FOWLER (Fish Only With Live Rock) Is cheaper and will run about $1,500 for a 55 gallon Set up. Use ½ - 1½ pound live rock/ gallon Fish Only, can go many ways, you can have a cheap hang on back filter or canister filter (Not recommended) or a below the aquarium Wet/Dry filter (Best Option). For a 55 Gallon set up maybe around $600 -$800 without a protein skimmer, though it is BEST if you do get one.
