ADVICE: Help me with a Fish Tank.

[Big Steve]

When I moved to the Grand Canyon I had to leave....

my English Bulldog back in Mississippi with my mother.

The only pets that I can have in Company housing are fish.

So I am going to get a fish tank, so I have some pets.

Here is the Catch(no pun intended), it has been at least 20 years since I have had a fish tank.

Any and all advice would be great.
It will be Fresh Water 55 gallon tank.

I like alot of different types of fish but not sure what kind are compatable with what?

I also don't know which plants, heaters, filters, ph balancers, testing strips, salts, food, rocks, caves, etc. to get.

Thanks in Advance!
