Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Being the impulsive person I am, today I went and bought a 36 gallon bow front tank, under the guise of it being a birthday present for my two year old son . After a lot of help from the nice lady at Petsmart, I've got it home and functioning properly as far as I can tell. I followed all the setup instructions that they sent me home with and we're running. Here's the setup:
-36 gallon bow front freshwater (water conditoner and bacteria starter added)
-Aqueon C50 filter
-100kw heater
-decorative wood? fish hiding area
-three plastic plants
-two live low light plants (in the foreground of the tank)
So, my question is, WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE??? What fish do I put in? How many can I put?
I've never had an aquarium before, not even a little goldfish. I have no idea what kind of fish to stock this tank with, and no idea of what I got myself into. I want it to be really cool for my son, and I'm excited about a new hobby.
Any advice would be appreciated. I just don't want to end up having a bunch of burials at sea if you know what I mean. Thank you!
