Make sure the tank you purchase is the correct size you wanted. If you buy small you will always want a larger tank

About Yourself:
I am new to aquariums, with the Fluval Edge 6-gallon being my first. I hope to expand into a bigger tank once I get the hang of everything.
I just wanted a pet that didn't require me to pay a 500$ for a deposit at the place I rent. But, while I was doing the research to get my first tank, I really got into making sure I did everything as best I could and really saw how much of a hobby this could be.
Fish Kept:
3 Yellow-tail Guppies (male)
1 Veiltail Betta (male)
Corals/Plants:
All decorations are fake.
With the type of tank having such a small top, it is very hard to decorate the tank on the sides and to put decoration items in the correct place, so I don't really want to mess with live plants.
When I get a bigger tank with a bigger top, I would like to try live plants.
Tank Size:
6 gallons
Advice:
I am new.
Description:
Fluval Edge - 6 Gallons.
3 Yellow-tail Guppies (male)
1 Veiltail Betta (male)

Fish Kept:
Just 3 Serpae Tetras for now. They have been kicking off my cycling process.
Corals/Plants:
All fake. It's a bit vibrant but it goes along with the theme i suppose. Can't tell if it's too much or just enough. I didn't want an empty tank so I slowly added plants to create some nice cover for the fish and fill things out a bit...
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
CYCLE!
