1) Alcohol thermometer – Domestic thermometer, Room thermometer
2) Mercury thermometer – low temperature measurement, Room thermometer + clinical thermometer
3) Bi-metal thermometer & thermostat – not accurate, water heater, kettle Electric stove, Electric iron, warmer, Air heater, medium Industrial application etc.
4) Electrical resistance thermometer- Accurate , Industrial purpose, Motor protection
5) Thermo couple thermometers – very accurate – All Industrial applications (without this no process Industries will work)
6) Thermistor – All Electronics - circuit protection, motor protection
7) Infrared thermometer – non contact type temperature measuring Instruments, etc.
8) Liquid crystal thermometer- low temperature measurement
Some more types are there, I am not indicated pl. refer : for further more requirement

what is thermometer
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient, using a variety of different principles. The word thermometer is derived from two smaller word fragments: thermo from the Greek for heat and meter from Greek, meaning to measure.
Thermometers can be divided into two groups according to the level of knowledge about the physical basis of the underlying thermodynamic laws and quantities. For primary thermometers the measured property of matter is known so well that temperature can be calculated without any unknown quantities. Examples of these are thermometers based on the equation of state of a gas, on the velocity of sound in a gas, on the thermal noise (see Johnson–Nyquist noise) voltage or current of an electrical resistor, and on the angular anisotropy of gamma ray emission of certain radioactive nuclei in a magnetic field.
Secondary thermometers are most widely used because of their convenience. Also, they are often much more sensitive than primary ones. For secondary thermometers knowledge of the measured property is not sufficient to allow direct calculation of temperature. They have to be calibrated against a primary thermometer at least at one temperature or at a number of fixed temperatures. Such fixed points, for example, triple points and superconducting transitions, occur reproducibly at the same temperature.
Internationally agreed temperature scales are based on fixed points and interpolating thermometers. The most recent official temperature scale is the International Temperature Scale of 1990. It extends from 0.65 K to approximately 1358 K (−272.5 °C to 1085 °C).

There are many types of thermometers.
Classification according to the use:
1. Clinical Thermometers. - used to measure temperature of humans.
2.Industrial thermometers. - Used to measure the temp. in industries.
3.Laboratory thermometers. - used in laboratories.
4. Freezer thermometer
5. A/c. Thermometer
6.Swimming pool thermometer
Classification according to the material used:
1.Mercurial (like in clinical thermometer)
2.Alcoholic (like the one used in rooms)
3.Digital
4.Metallic probes(used in industries)
5. Infrared thermometer
6.Tungsten thermometer
Classification according to units
1.Fahrenheit thermometer
2.Celsius thermometer
I have given broad classification and few examples. There are so many under each category. For example: in clinical thermometer you have oral, rectal, ear,etc.

put like 5 ghost shrimp theyre really small or you can also put hermit crabs in there or those sea snails...and buy some aquatic plants,they sell them at petsmart and petco and that should start out your own little aquatic enviroment
