I'm thinking of getting coldwater or tropical now as I think I could cope ok with them. |
If you do you might want to have your water tested just incase there are high levels of any harmful chemicals in the water. Aquamania do it at around a fiver per test but you can buy a testing kit for around 20-30 pound (which can sometimes work out cheaper) and do it yourself at home.
That way your less likely of ending up with dead fish, but resist temptation to buy too many fish at any one time and check that the fish you buy will get along ok with the others. Some fish will 'peck' other ones to death.
