All I know about aquariums is that they're a lot of work.

We had fish before I remember. I can do it

I'd go for a little bit bigger than you think you need anyway. Feeder fishes now, but it's best to be prepared.

Even 100 is a lot. I really want them though

Look into blind cave tetras, they're like little eyeless piranhas that don't require nearly the amount of work and only a fraction of the tank size for a small school

You dont want a tank thats too small, it's bad for the fish because they shit up the water faster in a smaller tank, even with a good filter.  Go to a decent pet store and ask someone, I'd give you more info since I work at a pet store, but the fish room is somewhat beyond my work area/knowledge.

Obviously, the more fish you have or plan to have, the bigger tank you want, and depending on the size of the fish too, especially since most will be still growing.

Just don't cheap out and get fish from like walmart's fish auschwitz or something, go somewhere better.
