Advice:
If you want a fish GO FOR IT! They are so amazing to have in your living space, and VERY inspirational and relaxing. You can design your tank to fit YOU!!
When picking out a tank don't fill it up with fish too quickly, pick out your fish slowly and make sure you don't put any specific breed of fish with others they wont get along with! Just basic aquarium knowledge really, and most of all ENJOY IT!!!!

Cowaco one of my fantails, by far the biggest.. but by far the biggest LOVE too. She models for me when I take pictures!!! She absolutely adores people, swimming right up to the tank when anyone is near.. But watch out shes got a far range of spitting water!!! :o)

Always research the fish you want to keep, don't think you can upgrade over night, plan ahead. If your wife says no, get her involved, she'll come around. The internet is a great resource....over use it!!
If you want a full look try using a good backdrop so you can leave you fish plenty of room to swim.
