What type of  Tropical Fish do you want to get?

Compatibility and care of these fish.

It is very important to research the fish you want to keep properly. The best way to do this would be to buy a good book on tropical fish tanks. You may want to purchase the adult size fish as these are larger.

Determine space

What are the largest tropical fish tanks you can fit? Determine where you want the fish tank, and see how much space there is. Include some space between the wall and the tank for cord, tubing, etc..

How much money can you spend? Remember that this money has to buy the tropical fish tank as well as all the necessary equipment, fish, plants, decorations, etc. If this is one of your first tropical fish tanks you may want to consider the expense of it as it can be quite pricey.

Once you decide on the above things, you then can begin to look for tropical fish tanks.
