When you start a freshwater fish aquarium there is not much you can do without You.
But still lots of folk rush out on a whim and a prayer to make that start without any thought or logical processes going on anywhere.
Your fish need You and if they don't have You, You won't have them.
Have you ever absent mindedly walked into a shop, bought something and forgotten to wait for the change? Yes, of course you have.
When our minds are elsewhere we often continue in a task and later just cannot remember what it was that we did.
Folks, you cannot be that way when starting a tropical freshwater fish aquarium.
Your new hobby needs You all of the way.
You need to research what you are about to do.
You need to plan the task ahead in such a manner that costs are kept to a minimum and the fish are kept alive.
There really is no room for guess work or an absent You, because You are the brains behind your new hobby and You are the one who will ensure you have a hobby for life not just until the end of the month.
Research your new hobby, you'll enjoy it.
Do you need a heater? What temperature should the water be at? If you want different species of fish, can they live together or will they eat each other? Which size tank is right for your personal preferences? The questions go on and they need to be answered, though as you research on, the answers will come pretty quickly.
So go on, start a tropical freshwater fish aquarium but start it right.
Include You every step of the way, let research be your companion and leave guess work outside.
This way you will certainly have the hobby for life and a visually stunning aquarium which may just make you the envy of the neighbourhood.
