So I finally went out and purchased an aquarium for some fresh water fish. It's a 20 gallon tank kit with the pump and heater. I've been wanting fish for a couple years but just this week got around to dedicating myself for it. I'm pretty happy so far. I've setup the tank with the water and equipment and we found a nice place in the house for the tank to sit.
We have to wait 3-4 days for the water to fully filter and be ready for the fish. I'm going for fresh water community fish and we plan on about 10-12 fish total but 4-6 to start with. Just to make sure we can maintain them. I'm going to buy a couple bottom feeders to take care of the algae and a couple side eaters too.
I'm going to try real underwater plants to try and maintain a healthier water tank and environment for the fish. The more I read the cooler I think having fish will be. It's simple but there are complexity and a fish is just like any other pet which requires maintenance and care.
So does anyone else have an aquarium? Once I have fish in it I'll take some pics.
