oooh ask B00, she is the resident expert :-)
Oh gawd.....hope you aint after a relaxing hobby because it's anything but!

Ya think it's just a simple task of filling a tank with water and dumping fish in it? Think again! LOL

I've aged ruddy years since I started a few months ago- heh!

I did however get loads of hints and tips from this forum
http://www.tropicaltankforum.com/forum/

it's saved my sanity loads of time. There's a brilliant beginners section on it- worth reading BEFORE you start, don't do a Boo and buy everything 1st then read up on it :-(

Thanks for the advice, but really how hard can it be. I have a Macaw and that thing is hard work!
Just one other thing, if you do go into it, when you change the water, use it for the plants, excellent.
impreza......honestly if i told you how hard and technical it is at begining you wouldn't believe me...and it's a VERY expensive hobby too.

Seriously, check out that forum and read the beginners section, it'll be an eye opener.

When all is said and done though, I adore my fishies, but I only relax after i've done a finned head count every morning when I switch the tank lights on, all this BEFORE i feed my 19 month old baby- heh!

Thats really bad! you should see to the baby first. Fish can come later.

Im sure I will be able to manage it though. Thanks for your help
You wanna go for Marine Fish rather than Trops - You will need to do a beast of reasearch but IMO it is way more rewarding

Remember whatever way you go (Marine or Trop)

- 'Fishless cycle is best'
hi, i have just started with trops and you cant go wrong if you start with tetras, there colorfull and cheap.
