Hey everyone,

I’m looking to start a new hobby and recently got really interested in aquariums and possibly paludariums. I’m a complete beginner with zero hands-on experience, but I’m excited to learn.

I’m thinking about keeping fish, maybe frogs, or even crayfish, but I’m not sure what would be best to start with. I also don’t fully understand the setup differences between aquariums and paludariums yet, so any beginner-friendly advice would really help.

I can easily visit a shop in person, but before that, I’d love some guidance so I don’t make beginner mistakes or get upsold on things I don’t actually need.

If you know any trusted aquarium/paludarium shops (preferably beginner-friendly), or have advice on:

• What setup I should start with
• Easy species for beginners
• Basic equipment I’ll need
• Common mistakes to avoid

I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to learn Spanish, couldn't find any institute that offer onsite classes. I would like to learn on weekend.
