Hi to all.
New to all of this, so here goes.
We have decided to get a tank for tropical fish. BUT we don't know where to start.
We like the ViaAQUA AR620 AQUARIUM SILVER see:-
http://www.seapets.co.uk/product-details/stkcode/950622/category/844.html
We want to keep some community fish tetras etc.
So here are the question's
1) where can we get this tank for under £90? (or am i having a laugh!)
2) What fish will go with the tetra's, what would you recommend?
3) How many of each do you think I should get I would like a lively tank, with a good community spirit!
4) Would you recommend to fill the tank with live plant's or plastic or a mix of both?

Load's of questions more I am sure will follow!!

Thanks in advance!
Niki

1) Don't know but I don't think it is impossible.
2) The asnwer is somewhat depending on which tetras you plan to keep but you have a long row of options available. Gouramis, bettas, dwarf cichlids, cory cats are some of them jst to mention a few.
3) Tetras to best in groups of 10 fish or more.
4) I would say live plants. They will require some cre but will help keep algae at bay.
