Tropical freshwater fish, since I'm a beginner and saltwater seems a little intimidating, as well as more maintainence. I was thinking about a 20 gallon TopFin starter kit, it includes an inadequate filter, but a 100w heater, a fluorescent hood, and some other goodies...
They're charging 80 bucks at PetSmart for the kit. I have been shopping around and it seems like this is the best deal for 20 gallon tanks, because piecing together everything seperately seems like it'll end up being more expensive...I could set up a 10 gallon for way cheaper, but I think I'd just want to upgrade to a larger tank as soon as I set it up.
Anyway, I know a lot of you have aquariums...Help me out a little...It seems like all I would need to add is an airstone and pump, gravel, plants and fish...And probably upgrade to a better filter eventually. So I have a budget of around 140ish, what do ya'll suggest I do?
