Where to start.
#1 - I can't stress how important this is! RESEARCH your fish before you buy them! Don't go to the store, and say, oooh, that's pretty! and throw it in your tank without knowing what it eats, what type of water conditions it needs, how big it gets, how aggressive it is, what it can be kept with, etc!
#2 - kind of like #1 - Make sure your fish aren't too big for your tank. And I don't mean when you buy them at the store, all of 1" big; I mean a year from then when they're over a foot. For example: that pretty little oscar in the store is a baby, you cannot keep it in anything less than a 55gal tank, by itself, when it gets bigger.

Natural aquariums are often described as “set it and forget it,” but the truth is calmer and more practical: you trade constant cleaning for thoughtful setup, steady habits, and time.
Creating a thriving community aquarium is one of the most rewarding aspects of the fish-keeping hobby, but it requires much more than simply picking out the most colorful fish at the local pet store.
Setting up a new aquarium is one of the most exciting moments in the fishkeeping hobby—but it’s also where most beginners unintentionally make mistakes that lead to stressed fish, disease outbreaks, or early losses.
