i have tropical fish and have to say that while they look good when all set up the tanks can be a pain the arse to clean every two weeks but good all the same

make sure u dont get any too small, quite a few of ours disappeared into the filter!

the tiny ones with the electric blue stripe on em. We had some sharks too (obviosuly small ones!) so i reckon they might have eaten some

never change all the water!

about a quarter to a third every couple of weeks will be fine... make sure your filter is also cleaned regulary and you dont use any chemical substances to clean rocks/weed/decorations/tank or filter

all you really need to do is set the tank up as you wish be it real or plastic plants plus any decor wood/rocks whatever.

CLEAN all the gravel and put that in (higher to the back)

add the water and turn the pump on.

to get rid of chlorine add some chemicals...there are loads of diffrent ones (all do the same by getting rid of the chlorine)

leave the pump running for at least 2 weeks... this will produce the bacteria and shiit that the fish and water will need.

DONT go and buy all your fish at one time get a couple every week till you have the amount you want.

thank you please
