Fish, Fish, Fish

So much about fish at the moment, so i thought id post here.....


Now, i really want a pet, mum wont let me get a snake or an alligator or even lil terrapins :( Sooooo i might try my luck with fish again.

At the moment i have a small tank which look a bit like this, but mine is much wider than that
(the attachment)

now i know that it will be WELL to small for anything major, so the question is.... Do i stick with this tank and get either cold water fish or tropical fish (small ones) or do i expand and get Marine fish OR expand and get tropical fish. Your thoughts please..



Oh and i know marine fish are expensive but i wont have many lol :)

I used to have a tropical fish tank and loads of different fish in it. It was really nice just to sit and watch them and stuff so I'd recommend them. :)

Thanks and ive had them before. They are nice :)


Edit: To start up a marine tank, excluding fish, how much am i looking at?

If your not really into it then I would say just get gold fish, they will keep you intrested. If you want a bit more fun then you should get a larger tank and get a tropical tank with fish. They arent too expensive to get some nice fishes and will keep u entertained as there are far more variety with tropical fishes. Also if you do want gold fishes then you can mix the both as long as the temerpature suits the tropical fish because cold water can go in warmer water, tropical cant go in colder water.

Thanks +Rep

i would never let a snake in my house, ever.

I have marine fish :)
We have two fish tanks at mine, ones my stepdads, and ones mine.
Mine's about a 50lr tank, I only have 4 fish up to now lol I have 2 common clownfish and 2 green/blue chromis :)

I have to tell you this though, marine fish are harder to look after than tropical. And they are more expensive!
