Some hobbies need almost nothing to start and not much more to continue, like for example Origami. What do you need? You and paper, that's about it. But when you're starting a tropical freshwater fish aquarium you do need a tank, fish, accessories, and, most importantly, research prior to starting.
If you think you can start a freshwater fish aquarium by chucking some water into a tank with a few fish and a filter thingy then think again 'cos that ain't how it's done folks.
What size tank will you get? Will it fit into the available space in your house? What do you do to the water before fish can live in it? Can you get a mixture of fish species or will some eat each other? Can you use real plants or will the fish eat those as well? How do you treat algae before it treats the fish?
You really need to research the subject before doing absolutely anything, this is crucial as without it you will certainly fail after a very short time. If you think the word "research" sounds a bit heavy then it's time for a re-think. Research is simply reading up on a subject, and in the case of fish aquariums it's really interesting, you'll be amazed at the information out there. It doesn't take long and besides you'll really enjoy it, honestly you will.
So come on folks don't let lack of information stop you entering one of the most enjoyable, rewarding and interesting hobbies out there. Get that information and you can start a freshwater fish aquarium in no time and without wasting time and money. Do it right and you'll have a superb and stunning fish aquarium for life.
