It Sounds Surprising, but larger tanks are actually easy to maintain then smaller tank.

• The weak solution:In a big tanks,the water chemistry stay balance.in a small tanks a smaller mistake like (over feeding,extra fishes)can pollute the water instantly.

•   The Golden Rule:Choose at least 10-20 (gallon) aquarium.for your first setup,avoid "bowls"they are usually tiny and didn't provide enough oxygen for the fishes.

2.GLASS vs ACRYLIC(choice between 2 materials)

SUGGESTION:For beginners usually the glass is the best,because you can scrub algae from the wall easily without worrying about the glass scratches.

3.ANALYZE THE SHAPE(choosing size&shape)

Fishes like horizontal space over vertical height 

• Wide\Long Tanks:Give more area and space to enter enough oxygen for the fishes and plants and more "running room"for the fish.

• Tall\Vertical Tanks:It look cool but it can be harder to clean and wash out all the algae off less swimming space for the fishes.

4.REMEMBER FACILITIES(provide necessary things)

• A Heater:unless you are keeping cold water fishes like(koi,glod fish,zebra danio).you need to keep the water at a steady temperature.

• A Filter:Important for keeping aquarium clean and crystal clear water.
