Getting Started
Before going off down to the local aquarium shop, there are a few things you need to consider. Go through each of these pages and decide on a plan for yourself, so that when you start you know exactly what it is you are looking for.
You cannot have too much information, so visit other websites, visit your local aquarium shop (just ensure they have staff who are experienced at keeping freshwater tropical fish), and buy a few books.
You may want to think about getting a subscription to a monthly magazine, or buy a book or two.
