Fish Stories

This stuff is fascinating to me. We had a couple of tanks when I was a kid. They had some neon tetras and some angelfish and some eel looking things that were orange and black, and what looked like a baby catfish, and some other stuff. I loved the sound of the bubbler thing and the smell of the water and watching the critters swim around. My brother killed them with a bottle of clorox, trying to "clean" them (he was 4 or so at the time). We never got any more.

I've spent the last several years teetering on the verge of buying a tank of my own, but I know absolutely nothing about it. What's the 411, yo? Fresh? Salt? What's this about testing the water? Me taking care of fish at this point would look like Napoleon Dynamite feeding ham to his llama. Who's got a primer?
