Fish Stories

Ah good, I'm going to print this out. I've never heard of this "practice fish" concept. Without it, I would definitely have immediately bought as many of the most expensive, gaudy looking fish I could find. That woulda sucked. So I assume my local fish seller will be able to tell me particulars about my tap water (it's very minerally here, coming out of mountain streams), and about the practice fish. When I'm stocking with permanent denizens, are there different requirements for different fish? If I set up a tank that's suitable for breed A, will breeds B, C, and D all find the environment livable? Obviously it's not universal, but my point is, how much planning has to go into stocking the aquarium? Just buy what looks cool and plop it in?
