Newbie Needing Help!

[Dan-izzle]

Hi guys,

My name is Dan, Im pretty new to the tropical fish owning scene but have owned a couple of goldfish over time!

At the moment I have a basic 13litre tank with an Interpet Heater and Cheapo Filter. So far I have a few Guppies and a Kuhli Loach that I got from pets at home but they wont be mine for very long as I am selling the whole lot to my brother who wants some small fish and a nice tank.

I joined this site because I need a bit of guidance on owning a tropical fish tank as regards to what to do and when to do it haha!

Im looking at getting a new tank soon (A bigger one) and getting some nice colourful fish to go in it.

Im not sure what tank to get and what fish to get and also I dont have a clue where to get them (good website etc)

Hopefully you can all show me the way



Dan

Welcome to the forum Dan. If you spend much time in the livebearers section we will probably run into each other there. You can probably get lots of help and suggestions of a general nature in the newbie section even if it is not your first tank. There are lots of helpful people who hang out there.

Hi and welcome. I'm a bit of a newbie myself and i can honistly say this site is great! i think you should deffinately surf through the newbie section for a while and have a look at some fish types that you like and then you can see what there tank requirements and tank mates can be e.t.c. remember reaserch is your greatest resource . Also i'm no expert but i think kuhli loaches need to be in groups of at least three and grow to be 10cm long so you may want to warn your brother he could need a bigger tank. Also read up on fishless cycling. Have fun and merry fishkeeping
Best wishes
