Total noob

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Don't get any fish that will outgrow your tank unless you are planning on upgrading AKA arowanas, rays, gars, oscars, some puffers, barbs, balas, most cats, RTGGs, etc.

get that baby set up and running. stay freshwater as salt is nowhere to start if you dont wanna get mad and give it up. make sure you put it on a proper stand (one that can hold 600 lbs.) then start thinking about what direction you wanna go fish wise and start doing maintenance research(water changes, filtration, things like that.)
Well the tank and stand is from wal mart so I hope it can hold it :irked:

dude they let you keep a 55 gallon in college... my dumb school fined me for a 40 breeder... because the max to have is 10 gallons... geez... i had RBPS tho also lmaoo
 
Okay, well just be careful. Common noob mistakes:
1) Not cycling your aquarium
2) Not having the right equipment
3) Getting too many fish at once
4) Getting fish that outgrow your tank eventually JUST because they look tiny and cute at the store
 
alright i was just throwing that in sometimes new keepers dont think about the weight factor. tell us what you are thinking single fish like an oscar or many smaller fish.

I would have several fish rather than a single fish I believe.
