Good First Fish

Your aquarium is set up and you're ready to add fish. Excitement is at a fever pitch. You can't wait to get fish in there! What if I told you that many new fish owners lose some, if not all of their fish right off the bat? Would that make you stop long enough to do a little research?

The dead fish scenario doesn't have to happen. The two biggest errors made when stocking a new aquarium are adding too many fish at a time and choosing the wrong fish. Tip the scales in your favor by following these basic, but important steps when choosing your first fish.
