Re which fish to get,look on a website or get a book with different species
and what they need. 'Community' tank fish are usually the easiest to keep.
They tend to live and feed at different levels of the tank so to make the
most of the space you could have 'bottom level', 'mid', and 'top' feeders.

hope this is useful,

some water clearing solution. When Can I add the fish?

Read this: http://faq.thekrib.com/begin.html

Regarding the PH levels. My tap water was a PH of 8 which was a little
bit
too high, now to lower this I used water from my tap water filter (the
ones

pH is not that important, unless you're trying to breed a particular
kind of fish.

1. Ok now what fish should I get?

Depends on what you like.

2. How many fish will this tank sustain without being overcrowded? I
would
like fish that don't eat each other and no fish that grow larger than a
few
centimetres.

A crue rule of thumb is 1" of fish per gallon of water.

3. Is my cheap solution an ok way of balancing the PH levels out?

Leave the pH alone.

4. What other "stuff" do I need to get i.e. ammonia testers, as I have
seen
so much stuff my head is spinning.

Read the website.

5. What food is good for the fish I am about to get??

Good quality food is important. Flake is ok, frozen food is good.

6. When I do a small water change(not the whole tank) do I have to warm
the
new water up or can I just add it a bit at a time?

Depends on the temp differential.

7. Anything else you can think of that might help
