Anybody here experienced with fish tanks?

Never done anything with Fish before...

Did some reading and looks like there is more to it than throwing fish into a tank and feeding it. Water temperatures, Nitrogen cycle...

So I figured its probably safer to start small and work my way up.

Got myself:
6 gallon tank
pump + filter
Thermometer

I've let it sit for about 48hrs pump running and water conditioner in....water temperature has stabilized at 75F (should I get a heater to bring that up to 78F?), so that should be enough time now so I can get some fish in there.

Any recommendations for a beginner? Tetra's look boring and I don't want Goldfish because they are filthy creatures.

Maybe in a year I want to get a big tank -- like a 90 gallon and get some sweet fish, but baby steps...
