    Hello ever1!
    As u already kno I'm a newbie on the road...thas y I need ur important advice..
    Here's the story like a month ago sumbody gave me a free 10 galllon tank with sum freshwater fishes like gourami/glasscat/tetra etc including 2 gold fish in the same tank without any heater but with everything else... Because I had no exp abt these fishes I just let it stay like that.. Well mean time one of my budy told me that u need to have a heater for rest of the fishes but gold fish..In a day or two couple of fishes died... I didn't kno wat to do plus I was kind of bz with different stuff...finally I have planed to get a bigger tank so that I can have them separated from gold fish n I can have them heater etc wateva they need.. Ok I baught a 55 gallon tank.. I set it up with 50 lbs gravel n the rest n then I let it run for abt a week.. This week I transfer those fishes from other tank n they seem to b ok as they were playing around n eating n all that... I also added up 2 oscars abt 2 inces.. And a parrot abt 1 and half inces...I like aggressive fishes and so I choose to have them plus I'm trying to add sum more aggresive...now as I said I mixed them up with community fishes that I mentioned earlier.. Cuz I don't kno wat to do with them(those fishes that I already had)..Now I wana kno what u think abt it? Will it b ok??Wat I did was ok or no?? Wat I should do now? Do petland or petco but the fish from public? Should I add more aggresive ? Any idea wat should I get ?well let me tell you the pet store I have in my area they are so tiny n they don't even have nice collections to choose from..and I don't kno how safe buying fish online? Pls tell me wat to do next as u noticed I'm really into it ryte now..I like fishes and I really wana stay on top of it.

    So pls share ur comments and thank u in advance for ur reply n to go thru my weird post..

    hi, your oscars and parrot fish well eat the rest of the fish you have in there when they get bigger. i would'nt add to many more fish. caues the oscars are going to get preety big fast. but it sounds like you have a good start.
    good luck
