RESEARCH!!!
When I worked at an aquarium, we constantly got costumers that came in and asked why they can't mix this fish and that fish, any why they couldn't put a nemo in a fish bowl.
Please do your research BEFORE you buy.

Advice:
Learn what cycling your tank is before adding fish! Research for compatible tankmates. Do not use test strips to check levels. Drop test are much better. Keep nitrates between 20-30 with weekly water changes. Over "mothering" your fish is no good either, because people tend to treat with too many medications. Believe me, I did it in the past. If your fish are healthy DO NOT change anything, no matter who tells you to change.
