Get the biggest tank you can afford. From my experience the bigger the tank the easier it is to maintain water conditions. Research the water conditions you need for the type of fish you want to keep.

About Yourself:
My son gave me a 20 gallon tank 2 years ago and that grew into a 55 gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna set-up, and a 30 gallon planted community set-up and 2 fry tanks. I really enjoy watching the interactions and parenting behaviors of my fish.
Fish Kept:
30 Community Tank: 2 Bolivian Rams, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 2 Oto Cats, 4 Cory's, groups of Zebra Danios, Neon Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and a Mystery Snail.
55 Gallon African Mbuna Tank.
* 2m/2F Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellow Labs)
* 1m/4F Metriaclima estherae (Red Zebra)
* 1M/4F Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei"
* 1M/3F Lab. Permutts
* 1M Labidochromis sp. "Hongi" (SRT)
**10 & 20 gallon tanks: Assorted fry from Bolivian Rams and African Mbunas.
Corals/Plants:
Amazon Swords, Melon Swords, Java Firms and Java Moss. Christmas Moss, Hornwort, Wisteria, Onion plant, and many others I cannot remember the names.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Read all you can about a type of fish you are thinking about. Do your research first!! Don't just buy on impulse, you may very well regret it. ALWAYS remember, those small fish you bring home will grow up someday, so take that into account. Use adult size when filling a tank, not the size they are right from the store. No, you cannot keep community fish with African cichlids! They may all get along now, but when the cichlids reach maturity they WILL kill off the community fish!
