Ok, well I think I am going to make my first decision as a fish hobbyist! Since I need to decide fish or tank, I am going to decide the tank. I will have a 20 gallon rectangular tank. Whoo- Hoo I am now officially a budding hobbyist!!! I am so excited! Ok, enough of that. Now, down to business... as I said before the tank is for my little girl. My husband and I are giving it to her for her first birthday. That is why I finally went with the larger size because she will have to be able to see, so therefore I needed something kinda large. My theme is COLOR!!! I want something that will catch her eye. Are there any fish that are very, very colorful? Keep in mind she is only one so I'm not sure if the little tetras would be large enough to really draw her attention. Also, live or plastic plants? Any background recommendations? I want as many ideas as possible. Thanks alot, look forward to hearing your alls opinions. Now I am off to research fish... I will be checking for posts often. Thanks. I didn't think I would be as excited about this as I am. Is that silly?
