Saltwater tanks are much more difficult to set up and more difficult to maintain and more expensive so I would always recomment freshwater for a beginner. However it does need some planning to set up - you need to know about what equipment you will need, heaters, lighting, filters. So you do need to commit to some ongoing maintenance once you have purchased everything. If however you just want to keep a couple of goldfish then you do not need anything fancy but they are living creatures so you do need to understand the commitment before you start.

They are extremely aggressive and will take on 14 inch Oscars and win, so as you can see they have some 'tude. The pH, dGH temperature don't have to be pinpoint exact, temp should be 72-81F, pH should be 6.5-8.6 and dGH can be 5-25. They are very hardy and can adapt to many enviroments, they will probably uproot un-anchored plants and destroy any other tankmates, they will be sooooo aggressive during mating time so it is best to keep them by themselves when breeding them. Good luck!!!~~~~<><~~~~><>~~~~ Convicts can do well in a 20g, they are smart, extremely easy to breed and only get 4-6 inches at max.

Their quite pretty and easy to feed. They also don't poo a lot. Watch "Finding Nemo" if you have never seen it before and look for "Dory" at the pet store. Their quite pretty and easy to feed.
