Research, don't jump into things too fast (easier said then done) sometimes "trial and error' is the only way to learn. Ask questions. The WORLD WIDE WEB is your friend. You can learn lots of stuff on there! One last thing......change your water every week.

About Yourself:
I've had a tanks since childhood. Never a planted tank though. I am learning a lot and enjoying it so much. Our dinning room gets much more use now that we have a tank in it. My previous tanks always had aggressive fish in them. This tank is so peaceful and i enjoy it more. No more scared weak fish in the corner looking for a way out!
Fish Kept:
6 lemon tetras, 1 pearl gourami, 1 flying fox, 1 bristle nose pleco, 5 amano shrimp
Corals/Plants:
water sprite, anubias, hygro, micro sword, vals, crinum x large.
Tank Size:
26 gallons
Advice:
If you choose a small tank get a bow front. Makes everything inside seem larger. If you want live plants do some research first. Get the substrate right you cannot change this easily.

About Yourself:
I'm a 22 year old undergrad senior at the University of Minnesota, majoring in Psychology.
My parents always kept fish so they were just always around and I took them for granted. One day last year I decided to get a betta and well things just took off from there. Now I've got a 75 gallon.
Fish Kept:
So far-
9 rummy nose tetras,
5 corys,
3 glass catfish,
2 golden gouramis (male and female),
2 kribensis cichlids (male and female),
1 albino pleco,
So far everyone is getting along!
Corals/Plants:
I honestly don't know what plants I ended up picking up but I've got about 8 or so young plants that will hopefully grow bigger soon.
I've got a small piece of driftwood with a plant growing out of it. I plan on getting a couple more larger pieces of driftwood.
I've got two rock caves built with other river rocks scattered around. Nice natural gravel lining the bottom.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
Be prepared to spend money...a lot of money. The cheapest is not always the best. But 10 mins of watching your fish tank is worth every penny.
I look at a fish tank as playing god in a sense, you're creating and maintaining an entire closed loop eco-system. Seeing your fish happy is an indicator of your skill and passion for fishkeeping.
Oh and never buy rocks, that's just crazy.

Advice:
let your tank cycle for at least a month with your filter running make sure you have the right substrate for whatever youre planning to put in there and idk Good Luck! and keep your hand out of your tank unless absolutely necessary and even then think twice
