Advice:
Start with a tank that is at least 20gal. A smaller tank is harder to keep healthy. Try to make the tank look as natural as possible or you'll get sick of it very fast and be embarrassed that you ever thought it looked good. "What was I thinking?! Blue gravel, plastic flowers, sunken treasure!!"

About Yourself:
I started with a breeding pair of guppies and their offspring usually paid for their food. Since college opened my eyes, I have moved on from my tropical tretra/guppy tank to raising and breeding cichlids. My favorite cichlids being my goby cichlids Crystal and Red XII. They are so friendly and great me when I come home.
Fish Kept:
18 cyprichromis leptosoma 3-4 inches
2 A. Comps Gold heads 3.5 inches
2 Leluipi 2.5 inches
2 goby cichlids 2 inches

5 clown loaches sizes range from 3-5 inches
1 Bristlenose pleco
4 mystery snails that survived the loach onslaught
Corals/Plants:
Young Amazon swords, Vals, anubias.
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Go slow, never rush your fish tank. It's true destiny will reveal itself with time.
