Take your time - there is no rush. Study as much as you can on your fish. Not ALL fish can go together. Get the biggest tank you can! Good planning is all worth it in the end. I've had reef, planted and all things in between, cichlids have been the best I've kept.

Being a gentleman means treating others, especially women, in a respectful manner, and not taking advantage or pushing others into doing things they choose not to do.
About Yourself:
I grew up in the harsh Central Australian Deserts and was fascinated by the idea that animals actually lived in water. After starting with Goldfish I quickly progressed to Australian Natives and got involved in native fish conservation and captive breeding. After a stint as president of the South Australian Native Fish Association I move on to managing the Southern Eyre Marine Farm. I now work for the Government in an unrelated field and keep an Amazon theme display tank in my home.
Fish Kept:
4x Red Oscars
1x Gold Severum
3x Geophagus Surinamensis
3x Tinfoil Barbs
16x Giant Danios
Tank Size:
265 gallons
Advice:
Invest in Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate test kits and use them regularly.
Give your fish plenty of space!!!
