Advice:
Buy what you can at garage sales , Market place sites and Ebay or Amazon. Spend you $ on substrate , filter media ( I use triple layer filter material from amazon and a finishing fine layer from Amazon in my filters with carbon in a cartridge don't buy pre made cartridges ) , and plants. Read about fish before you buy them.
