johnbetta Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 with fish keeping its best to know what fish u want to keep then find out what water conditions they like think ph is it going to be acetic or alcaline or nutrul then look at gh and kh water hardness then water temp and foods then if your planning on breeding u will need to find out what type of breeding style the fish has hope that helps Cichlid Carl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billfish Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 First thing to learn is the nitrogen cycle and how to cycle a tank properly so you dont lose a bucket load of fish and decide this hobby is too hard and give up, You will lose fish.....we all have , some on scales unimaginable to a newcomer Second would be deciding what fish you want, that will determine the substrate(, gravel,sand or coral) you will need Fish types will determine if they are plant friendly or not JB, Cichlid Carl and johnbetta 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
