do you need to have a "minimal elo" to play some variants?

my elo is PRETTY low, and i decided to play bughouse bcs i was curious on how do i play it, most people that play are 1000< and it is pretty hard to play against them, beyond that if i lose my team mate loses elo for my fault, do you guys think that i should practice more standard or keep playing bughouse?????

Play what you want to play and have fun playing.  Chess and variants are for all skill levels - your rating will appropriately match you with opponents and teammates.
