I'm new to tropical fishkeeping - and have just finished fishless cycling my first tank (it's only a small one - 7 gallons - to see how I get on with it!).
Very excited about getting fish soon I've done loads of reading (books, websites, forums) so hopefully I'm prepared now!
I've found loads of really useful info already in this forum - so a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes.
Very wary of overstocking - especially with such a small tank - so I'll probably get a pair of gouramis and either a small bottom dweller or a couple of guppies (same sex - not ready for multitudes of babies yet!!).
What I'd REALLY like is to just go out and buy a 4 ft tank and fill it with all sorts of wonderful fish - but I'm trying to be sensible and not run before I can walk!
Did you know that it is actually meant to be harder to keep a smaller tank, so if you succeed, we're with you all the way. We will pick you up if you fall!!!!
