Fishkeeping: The Plan

This month is a bit of an exception when it comes to "The Plan", partly because of the nature of an aquarium being 90% setup and 10% maintenance, and that I already have fish purchased and the tank is more or less setup.

With that in mind I have developed the following goals for this month, some of which have already been completed:

1. Setup a tropical freshwater aquarium
2. Purchase at least 10 fish
3. Not let any of the fish die barring any unforeseen complications like disease
4. Aqua-scape the aquarium in a tropical theme
5. Clean the tank at least twice
6. Document costs and inventory everything needed to run my aquarium

I anticipate that once the aquarium is setup and running smoothly, I may decide to add more goals, or modify existing ones to make it interesting. I doubt breeding will be added to the list though.
