Tropical Aquarium Tanks

Tropical Aquarium TanksStarting a tropical fish aquarium HELP?

Can someone give me all the must haves from my first tropical aquarium and the best fish to have as a beginner! Thank you

Get the biggest tank you can - it is actually easier to care for a smaller tank and you have more choice and variety of fish.

After setting up your tank it will take several weeks to scroll, use this time to research the fish you want.

Do _not_ believe everything the seller tells you fish. all the research yourself or you will end up with a bad choice of fish - we have found itself hard.

Check this bro ... The first thing is to get a gallon of good size. 2inches per gallon of fish. I started with a reservoir of 30 gallons of Wal-Mart, which came with a filter 20-40 gallons of water and starter kit and who ... Oscars and also is a fun fish to watch, but very aggressive with other fish .. and if you want a very docile and very therapuetic to watch fish get a gold fish .. go to Wal-Mart and ask the aquarium starter kit 30 gallons ... a good starting point for this .....

I can not respond to beat Jerry's, but a filter cartridge external good is beneficial for large aquariums or as a filter for small aquariums.
You will also need:
A water heater (one watt per liter of water / 5 watts per gallon), the cooling pump, wood or other decorations (a mix of wood, plants and rocks gives a natural look) Gravel substrate I do not recommend sand as it is difficult to keep clean.

Whether you want to keep a community tank or another depends on the heat of the water. (24/25 75/77 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit for configurations of the community) 26/28 79/83 Celsius or Fahrenheit for cichlids and 28/31 or 83/88 Celsius Fahrenheit for discussions. However, I would not advise keeping discussion if you're a first timer.

Allow the installation program (adults) for two weeks before adding your fish. (Add a hardy fish during the first two weeks (Molly, Platy)) Check your nitrite every day during the ripening period, once they fall to zero, you can slowly add more fish.

If you decide to keep cichlids remember that they should not go to a community tank and Aggressive different levels should not be mixed.

Good Luck

The type of fish you get all depends on the size of your tank and form. I recommend you start with a few grouse. You need a tank at least 60 cm long. There are many different types and they are small, but usually very active. Rummy-nose Tetras I have in my tank. Others grouse neon or cardinal tetras, if you like the color.
A beginners liverbearers popular fish, which are fish that give birth to live young. They are easy to breed and color. Those that I have experience with the Mollys, and swordtail platies. If not then liverbearers grouse or catfish is a fish easy to breed and variety Cory quite easily when you could have a try to raise fry, which is always fun.
You need to have a perfectly reasonable place for the tank on a stable surface. You might have read in the science of keeping fish, such as pH and water treatment and I highly recommend borrowing or buying an encyclopaedia of good fish, so you can dispose information about the fish you have or want. Make sure you get a good brand of tank I often buy products or Sero AquaOne.
Water quality is the most important part of fishkeeping. Make sure you do partial water changes a week and water conditions. That's about all I can think of the mo.

all the fish you want, but only one Oscar! ! !

something where fish can hide behind if they feel threatend ... Great is a must to have a heater ... 1nce fed one day, defently a filter to clean waste ... start with about 3Fish in the tank and wait a few weeks and more (if you want) and get fish that are small enough to begin with W.
