Solution
Bacteria can be present in an aquarium.
Bacteria are present everywhere; in air, soil, water and foodstuffs. They are found in boiling water and also below 0C. They are present on the bodies of all living and non-living organisms. They live in readymade food. In short, they are omnipresent.
Bacteria are heterotrophic and may be decomposers or micro-aerobic in nature. Their mode of reproduction is very fast.
