First, you should decide what size tank you want. You will need a filter appropriate for the size of your tank. If you want tropical fish, you will need a heater. You should also do research on how to cycle a tank and set everything up before you buy fish.

When looking into buying fish first buy the tank and then set it up for about a week without and fish in it. The water need to grow bacteria before you can add fish. After about aweek buy some fish. You might lose 1 or 2. As well dont clean the tank to much. Maby 1 time a month.

Whether the fish be fresh water or saltwater, make sure they get the right environment. Nothing kills a fish faster than using the wrong type of water.
