Three types of pools can be created: **Volatile**, **Stable Swap**, and **Concentrated**. > **Pool Creation Cost:** 300,000 AQUA ### Pool types Pool types, their price formulas, fee tiers, and trade-offs are covered in [How Aquarius AMMs Work](/amm-and-pools/what-are-aquarius-amms.md). In short: volatile pools suit regular asset pairs; stable pools suit assets pegged 1:1 (choosing stable for a volatile pair can lead to loss of deposited funds); concentrated pools are for active liquidity providers working within a chosen price range. ### How to create a pool Follow these steps to create a liquidity pool on Aquarius: 1. **Select the pool type** (**Volatile**, **Stable Swap**, or **Concentrated**).

2. **Choose the assets** to include in the pool: * **Volatile pools**: Up to **two assets** * **Stable Swap pools**: Up to **three assets** (**four in a future update**) * **Concentrated pools**: Exactly **two assets**. You'll also set the initial price and range, and acknowledge the risks of concentrated positions — see [Managing Concentrated Positions](/user-guides/pools/manage-concentrated-liquidity-pool-positions.md).
