thank u so much for ur post mate... well, basically getting all dose stuff aint dat difficult but for me the most difficult part is choosing right fo maself which shud be easy to look after and i m also pretty nervous about wat size of aquarium to go fo basically in ma room i've around 6" to 7" space free and i m very very eager to see fish in ma room

no problem..Just start off by looking at the room you hve and then buy yourself a nice aquarium that makes best use of the space you have...

But, i cant stress these points enough...Research loads, and have loads and loads of patience...Never rush anything and it will all fall into place mate..

To be honest with you, 6-7" will not be enough room to put a tank big enough for any marine fish (just crabs, snails, shrimp and corals, unless you get a really wierd tank). If you could fit a 5g (18"x8"x10" tall) in there with the one of the small sides against the wall, then you could maybe keep one very small fish in there, as well as corals, crabs, etc.
