Nice to Meet You ^ ^
Hi my name is Cassie. I've been reading different topics on this site for about 2 weeks, and I finally decided that I should become a member.
The only experience I have raising fish is from when I was younger, and it was just some goldfish (though they bred like rabbits and we ended up getting rid of them becuase we didn't have enough tank space).
I'm interested in starting my own aquarium, hopefully before to long, and the species I'm most interested in are Tiger Barbs, Painted Tetras (the natural kind, not the artifical painted ones), Bloodfin Tetras, and Oscars. I know I don't have enough experience to take care of an Oscar, but hopefully one day I will :p
I joined this forum looking for help and assistance in starting an aquarium, and maintaining it. Thank you all in advance, and it's very nice to meet you

Thank you all very much ^ ^
I may start a saltwater tank after I've been able to handle a Freshwater after awhile...I heard that saltwater tanks are harder to maintain. But the fish are BEAUTIFUL
