After a long period learning about aquascaping with planted tanks, under the style of Nature Aquarium, I'm now interested in simulating natural habitats with fish and plants from the same geographical area.

Advice:
Plan carefully before buying the first tank.
Don't start with livebearers, or you'll end up with tens of them, leaving no space for future aquisitions.
It's better to underfeed, than overfeed.
You should have a smaller spare tank to use as an hospital or quarantine aquarium
