I did do some reading, but I am curious as to the opinions of a community of fishkeepers. As a novice to this hobby, what size tank should I use to start? I can't go very big since I have to consider having to move and must be able to transport it with relative ease.(not that transporting fish is ever really easy, but ...)
Would something like a 25-30 gallon be ok? I am not interested in keeping a large amount of fish at first. I would be satisfied with one or two as long as my aquarium was established and looked nice.
I was also curious as to what everyone's opinion was as far as peaceful, community fish that were good for beginners. I seem to have a distinct disdain for aggressive fish; as pretty as angel fish are I don't like bullies. I'm the same way with freshwater fish. If they are not community fish, I don't tend to keep them.
Although, every once in a great while, I keep a betta, but aside from ones who are more active than normal, there is not much in it for me no matter how pretty they are.
*ahem* Anyhow, I'd like to know what sort of fish would be good for me to keep. I don't mind if they are a little shy, but I don't want to always wonder where my fish is :P.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
