Fish Fanatic
You could say I'm a newbie, my brother's birthday is in a couple weeks and he really wants an aquarium. I started months ago to research and read anything on fish that I could get my hands on and asking anyone who has fish or had them at one time so I think I've got a pretty good idea on stuff except for actual hands on. All I've got is book learning and secondhand. Originally I was planning on getting my brother a 29gallon tank but I've decided to scale down majorly, mostly because the amount of work involved is probably not something he would be interested in (he's pretty lazy). Instead I think a betta would be a better idea, still fish but not quite as involved. Now the question(s), what type of tank, betta, how to care for him or her, general stuff and anything else that might help my brother out, (and me cuz now I want an aquarium of my own)! Also any place that's reputable that I might be able to get the equipment needed......and anything else that anyone feels like throwing in!
