Hi everyone I just got my first aquarium yesterday. It is a 20 gallon tank. I got it all set up and I am letting it run for a few days to make sure everything is working correctly before adding any fish to it. I was wondering what would be the best fish to put in there? I have heard the number of fish in the tank should be equivalent to the amount of gallons the tank can hold. Is this true? Also I was wondering if their are any supplies or water treatment things I should have or know about? I am very excited about getting started with this aquarium and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly. I would love any and all advice because like I said this is my first time doing anything like this. Thank you for all of your help and I look forward to learning a lot from all of you guys!
