Help! Need info and tips about keeping these fish!

its starting in a week
 
I just need a jump start so i dont do anyting stupid
 
ok. i already have 9 months of experience
 
9 months for you, but if your tank is at 0, you want to complete the nitrogen cycle before adding any inverts or fish (I'm assuming a fishless cycle here).

Please read the FAQs, starter guides etc. You'll save yourself many headaches and lots of $ by doing so.
 
ok. but out of curiosity, how long does it take?
 
the nitrogen cycle?
 
does that mean no fish for two months?
