There are several quality books at you local pet store that can provide you with all the information you will need to make these all important decisions when starting your new hobby.

You will need these basics to start your new aquarium; these are only suggestions and can be adjusted to suit your tastes, but make sure that any changes you make a compatible. For an 80-120 liter aquarium you will need the following:

* Two or three 20-watt fluorescent
light tubes

* A 40-60 watt heater

* Thermostat

* Filter, if possible

* A nice piece of root or driftwood

* Several flat rocks about hand sized

* Fish that give no problems for a beginning aquarium; these fish are interesting in that they are constantly on the move, and very attractive.

* Guppies -- 3 males, 2 females

* Platies -- 2 pair

* Zebra danios -- 10

* Kribesis dwarf cichlids -- 1 pair (these require a cave; you may choose Hemichromies thomasi instead, as they do not require a cave)

* Corydoras catfish -- 6

* Plants -- the ones listed are fairly inexpensive and multiply quickly; remember that after the aquarium is well established you can replace the less expensive plants or add to the aquarium more decorative plants.

* Echinodours bleheri

* Two or three stalks of Hygrophila corymbosa

* At least five of any other plants you choose; it is always better to have too many plants than not enough

* A Cryptocoryne willisii or Echinodorus tenellus can be used as foreground plants
