Anyone here got a freshwater aquarium? Options

[Akimbo]

I just picked up a 10 gal starter kit. I wanted to know if it's safe to add my tap water, add the fish, and with the fish add the conditioner? Or if there's anything else I should do beforehand.

What are some good beginner fish that ARENT boring goldfish?

You could use tap water if you run it for a few days w/o fish, I live on a fresh water well, so when my tanks needed water I just added room-temp tap water and they are all still going strong...4 years later.

I started with some Tetras, 2 angelfish, a sucker/cleaner fish, and some other fish that looks like a mini angelfish (can't remember the name). The angelfish had babies, so they all have their own tank now.

A good fish to start with.... 2 pirhanas (from the same batch).. then when you want to feed them, go buy 5 bucks worth of feeder fish and toss them in the tank. Good times.
