I just picked up a 10 gal starter kit. I wanted to know if it's safe to add my tap water, add the fish, and with the fish add the conditioner? Or if there's anything else I should do beforehand.
What are some good beginner fish that ARENT boring goldfish? -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

I've had fish for a while in a fresh water tank. You just half to have water in there a few days before you put fish in. Go to your local pet store, NOT WALMART, and ask them all the questions you have. It really matters what fish you put together. I have a sucker fish and a aderia? or something like that. The Alderia is very agressive and killed all the other fish I've put in there. I talked to the pet store people and they said it was odd that he actually killed fish that were larger than he was. Try to get fish that are "tough" at first too. Once you can take care of them, you can move on to more exotics. Just my advice on the matter.
