Many first time aquarium owners set up their tanks without planning what inhabitants it will house. They will wander through the lfs confused about what fish should be kept with what, or worse buy whatever strikes their fancy. This is one of the most common mistakes a newbie will make.

Having a plan to stock your tank will save both you and your fish alot of aggrevation. We can help you plan a trouble free first aquarium if you provide us with the following information:

1. Tank size
2. Current filtration
3. Type of substrate
4. pH of your water
5. What type of fish you like the most.

After deciding on the type of aquarium you want, and what fish you want to keep, begin a new thread in this forum and we'll discuss the needs and compatibility of these fish before you make a purchase.
