I am debating on getting a fish tank with my christmas and birthday money.If I get one what type of fish should I get.What size tank should I get too?

Maybe some schooling fish such as tetras, etc. Guppies are beatiful fish. Maybe some livebeares too. A dwraf Gourmai,(I cant spell) might do good.

Bella!!!!!!!!!

First I have to decide if I am getting a fish tank. thanks for the suggestion

Bella!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm not going to get a fish tank too big. Probly a 10 gallon tank and that's it.

A 10g severely limits your choices in the type and number of fish you can have. The general rule of thumb is 1" of adult fish per gallon, and since most 'beginner' fish run 2-4" in size, you won't be able to have many.

Plus, it's a lot harder to keep the water chemistry stable in a small tank. We usually recommend that a beginner start with at least a 20g, and preferably bigger, since the larger amount of water is easier to keep stable.

Maybe a 14,that is as high as I can go.

I am just a begginer.

I know it sounds strange but you should go for the biggest tank you can afford/keep, as jsalemi said in a larger tank it is easier to keep the water parameters stale and you also get to have more fish.
