Honestly, freshwater is best to start of with. My 10 gallon saltwater cost me about 200 dollars. My 10 gallon freshwater costed my about 70 dollars. And for a shark, you would need a 300 plus gallon tank. The fish from the cast of nemo won't get along well. Gill is a moorish idol. These fish are EXTREMELY difficult to care for for. The puffer fish will get quite large. If you really want a nemo tank, set up like a 35 gallon tank and have a pair of clownfish and something else. Hope this helps!

Yep, salt water only. Marine / salt water tanks are soo pretty... and sooo expensive to set up and keep! You'll have to buy the specially filtered, pure water to fill a marine tank and for all of your water changes from an aquarium shop, and then buy and add special marine salts to it!
