What made you want a freshwater aquarium?

I chose freshwater aquarium because I find it less intimidating than saltwater. Fish and plants seem to be less expensive as well.

Found that fresh water tanks are a bit easier to maintain. The water we get here can easily be used to keep the tank running without too many issues. Our water supply comes from a clean water source, that is generally kept pretty clean by the company that maintains the supply.

It was just the easiest place to start, tbh. And since I have a nice ecosystem, there's no reason I'd stop maintaining it.

Generally freshwater aquariums are less expensive and they are less fragile than saltwater.

I started with a fish bowl and that is what triggered my love for fishes and freshwater aquarium was an easier option for me during those times.

I think I have maintained both fresh and saltwater over the years. I think the fish and the overall setup guide has been based on my setup idea and it turns out it was good based on the suggestions that I have got so far. I hope to continue with that as well.

When you look at the cost of running a fresh water fish tanks compared to others, you will find out that's less expensive to manage and it kind of suits the fish breed I want better.

It was the best thing that I would be able to start out with. Plus, I think that fresh water fishes seems to be more lively. I don't know for certain but it's what I have observed so far with mine.
