Hello everyone. I'm Daniel and new here. I don't have a tank yet but I'm planning to acquire one this year. I'm using this time to learn and gather references and ideas because I don't want to fail keeping and maintaining my first tank. Anyway, I hope everyone here is safe. Have a great day.

Welcome aboard

I suggest learning how to Cycle a aquarium this is very crucial especially for someone new to properly keeping fish.

RD. comes to mind, we have people who are basically small aquariums, thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter comes to mind, and we have literal experts in the hobby, Yellowcat Yellowcat comes to mind.

That is just to name a few of our treasured members, we have plenty more that are highly knowledgeable in their field. Tobiassorensen Tobiassorensen with his stingray knowledge is one. We have at least 6 people who know their way around a bichir, we have some puffer keepers, a lot of cichlid keepers, arowana keepers, we even have planted tank keepers and nano fish keepers.

Welcome to MFK! It's good to have you, and refreshing to see a new aquarist who is trying to sort out the basics before putting fish into water. tlindsey tlindsey had the right of this- read everything you can about cycling an aquarium and maintaining a water change schedule. Basically everything in this hobby can be broken down into those two things, the grand debates you'll find are over what are the best techniques is to accomplish those tasks.

Yeah. You got a problem with it? He has a lot more tenderness than you give him credit for, Sarge! If not love, one can learn to appreciate even a junkyard dog, if the said yard is near and dear to them...
