I wasnt planning on doing anything crazy. I like the tiger barbs, the dalmation mollies, goldfish, and tetras. Nothing really insane. Ive seen them all at EVERY store ive gone into, i just dont know who to trust with getting them...if i get them you keep talking about a quarantine tank, but i...

i am really nervous about that, whats the time it takes to get to you...do you need to choose breeder close to you...what if im at work and (cause I live in Florida) its hella hot outside and its dropped off in the morning and I dont come home till at night, will the fish be okay...its just one...

thank you so much and to all others that have helped, and will help!!:fish2:

also, another question. should i worry about doing live plants? or is that something that i should worry about later, and get plastic for now. Its just in my research, so far, all ive heard is that the addition of live plants makes things a lot better for the enviro inside the tank making it...
