This is a paradise tank for every hobbyist. It is very simple and never complicated to have your first Aquarium. All you need to have your basics right.
First and foremost is to have a sizeable fish tank with proper filtration and an Aquarium light. The tank recommended for the starters is a 2 ft in length Aquarium. Secondly and the most important aspect of any successful aquarium is filtration.

Adequate filtration plays a vital role and needs to be given the highest priority. A weak filtration system can spoil all the fun intended to own an Aquarium and will leave the owner dismayed.

Let the tank settle down, and introduce some beneficial bacteria into the Tank for eight days which can help to kick start the nitrogen cycle. Some products can help you like Seachem Stability or API Quickstart. Out of the two we recommend Seachem Stability as we use it quite often in our tanks.
