I'm going to start collecting fish And I don't know what I need for the tank. I have:
1. Tank
2. 1 Goldfish for now anyways
3. Filter
4. Rocks
5. 2 Ceramic from things
6. Shells
And I'm going to be getting a magnetized tank cleaner, that you put one half of it with the bristles in the tank and the other on the outside, then you just move around the one on the outside and it cleans it.
So Yeah What Do I Need Yet?
 
uh, you need to elaborate a lot more, and Im not sure what you mean by "So Yeah What Do I Need Yet?" What type of fish are you having, how big is the tank? You need to tell us these things before posting a question.
 
Well it sounds like you have most everything. I do hope that the shells that you have in the tank are fake, cuz real ones contain to much alkaline and should not be in fresh water tanks. The other thing that you have to think of is, do you want tropical fish or just goldfish. If you want tropicals you will need to get a heater. Goldfish don't require a heater and should not be keep with tropicals. Now the size of the tank is also a consideration. If it is a 10 gallon tank you should have about 1 fish per gallon. What about a light? Will you be getting a light for you tank? Also remember that if you get an incandescent light that it is gonna put heat in your tank, so watch the thermometer. Good Luck
 
Well depending on the goldfish and tank size, you might need a new tank. :P

You should also have water conditioners and food, but if you already have the goldfish I assume you've got that. Having some medicines and water testing kits handy would be a good idea too.

Not much can be kept with goldfish, aside from.. goldfish. If you have a large enough tank, you may be able to get a Golden Dojo Loach.
