Tropical fish is what we were thinking. We discussed maybe $200-300 budget. We have beautiful footed wall table we were thinking of using as a stand. I dont care for those background pictures people attach to their tanks, so those are definatly out. The available space is flexible to a point, the outlets would be the concern, but we could move a thing or two around. To start we were thinking a 50 gallon tank. I have seen some different shaped tanks online, other than the standard rectangle. I am leaning towards a hexagon shaped tank, but that depends on the cost. I'm figuring maybe $100-175 for set up and a additional $100 or so for the fish.
Fish is something very new to us, at least a tank set up. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Just a thought, are salt water tanks, fish and accessories more expensive. I have seen some really beautiful salt water fish.
