Tropical Fish Tanks Ive Always Wanted A Tropical Fish Tank, Is It Better To Start Small And Upgrade Or Go Straight For A Big One

Ive always wanted a tropical fish tank, is it better to start small and upgrade or go straight for a big one - tropical fish tanks

I've read many books on tropical fish tanks, and always wanted one but was too busy with kids and travel, etc. Now our whole family does not move at least 20 years and our kids are toddlers and l love the idea with the fish . So, we're ready.
You do not want a tank with cold water as a goldfish a special attraction for me and Poo too!
Im not ready or experienced enough to manage a saltwater aquarium, although I know they are awesome. We would like a tank full of colorful tropical fish and plants.

So the question is ... Do you think that the best start with a small tropical aquarium about 2 meters? then see how it goes as it should be with maintenance, temperature, various types of fish trusts, etc. .... Or should I to the end and give the score 4-5 with a big closet?

Can anyone recommend a filter and what are the best for low noise?

Thanks in advance

I agree with the disgust of goldfish!
Larger tanks are handled actually easier in some ways. To ride safely easier. Read more about the nitrogen cycle and patience during the cycles of the tank. It usually takes about a month. For more information about the types who work well together and go slowly. One or two fish at once.
I placed my first gallons and is 10, with four guppies in it (so far). I like them, are very colorful and very stable. The only problem is that they like crazy to breed. I he wanted to win at least 20 gallons because accommodate, I liked to be able, 6-8 shallows and a few other schools.
20 gallons would be a good start and then you can always a bigger fish for some others, once it has reached the hang of it. I think it's a good idea, more a deposit for the event have, nevertheless. I would say 20 gallons minimum.
Good luck and make sure that the search thoroughly for the bicycle, before you start or if you are very frustrated by the dead fish!

It's really up to you, I started small and gradually increase the size of my tank. Juwel tanks are the best I've found that are most aquarium stores and many garden centers sell a starter kit, it usually includes the tank, filters, lighting and heating can a little money. I suggest you at your local store, and analyze the opportunities and advice there by the staff.

I wanted a lot of fish and in my case, has a first smaller. I think (unless you have a budget), you should better the quality of the smaller tank, so you get an idea to have fish at home ....
I hope this helps (:

I begin with a 20 liter, because if bacteria that are harming the fish, it is not as fast and you can spread a lot of fish

How is already in the local pet store for tropical tanks, bigger better. Something about the level of pH and temperature control or something. However, in high school who managed to hold 10-15 l seawater with some problems.

Instead, to the size of the tank, I recommend you go and ask a fish, tropical fish very forgiving. So you can kill with the environment in his aquarium without costly to get used to. Then, once you have one drop of all good, go for the flashy fish! :)
