i started by finding a 20gallon in my garage storage that we used when i was little.
then i got a 45g, then a 55g, then another 55g (it was dirt cheap) and finally stopped at a 90g but only because i got no more room. otherwise i'd go bigger like a 220g.
it is very addicting but i find myself bored of it after 3 years? gets tiresome changing water for 3 fish tanks. now i only got a 55g and a 90g. maybe ill upgrade in the summer and use the 55g as a sump or breeding tank.
as for fish suggestions.. a 30g is small since its your first time though, the hardy the fish the better.. so maybe some angel fish? they're nice and calm. don't eat a lot, aren't aggressive and semi easy to breed. or you could go for the cichlids, some have nice colors like for example jack dempseys or you could do a pair of blood parrots. i've always liked them because they're bright in color and nice and fat.
as long as your tank is cycled before you throw the fish you want to keep in there. and the temp is good along with regular water changes. you'll have some happy fish!
should post a pic when you get them.
