Answer 1

Goldfish are not easy to care for. They produce far more waste than any other fish, and require a lot of maintenance to keep their tanks clean. Goldfish in bowls require complete water changes several times a day and never seem to thrive.

Male betta fish, on the other hand, are perfect for bowls. They've adapted to survive in puddles in the dry season, so they can gulp air off of the surface with their lungs. In a tank, however, they can get picked on by faster fish with higher metabolisms. (Danios can nip on their fins, leaving them ragged.) Male bettas also need to be alone. Kept with each other, male bettas often fight to the death. They are even aggressive with females.

The "Nemos," or clownfish, are great saltwater fish to start with, but saltwater fish care is far more complicated than dealing with freshwater. Aquarium salt has to be pre-mixed for water changes with exacting specifications, and many aspects of water quality (salinity, calcium levels, etc.) have to be monitored constantly to keep these fragile fish alive. Another concern with saltwater fish is that many of them are wild caught through extreme methods that often devastate the wild. While clowfish are generally aquacultured (farm raised), many of their companions will not be.

Cory catfish are great freshwater bottom feeders that do well, feeding on the extra food that sinks to the bottom. Usually, only one or two of them are needed.

Freshwater sharks (labeled "Bala," "Red-tailed black," etc.) are larger catfish and a trap for novice fish keepers, growing over 2.5 feet long!

Guppies are, by far, my pick. They have nice color on their bodies and tails. They're also hardy livebearers that wil stock your tank for you, which is great fun, seeing the fry (babies) grow up. As long as you have a high ratio of females to males (3-to-1 minimum), they should do well.

Mollies and platies are also livebearers, and do well with guppies. They, too, have been bred to have great color, and are hardly pets.

Otocinclus are also great, small fish to have for algae control. They are generally docile and will eat algae without harming live plants. (Plecostamus and other algae eaters grow fairly large and can get aggressive.) Just watch out for flying fox fish, which look much like the otocinclus, but are a bit more aggressive.

Whatever you decide, just remember the rules for stocking fish (3 gallons for every inch of goldfish, 2 gallons for every inch of saltwater fish, and 1 gallon for every inch of tropical freshwater fish) and know the maximum size of each fish. Also be sure to ask your pet retailer if your new fish will do well with your old ones. (Cichlids and barbs are often aggressive and have special considerations in stocking)

Trial and error with types of fish (and freshwater plants) are natural; just remember that any fish or plant that you decide you don't want cannot get released in the wild. Introduced species have huge competitive advantages over the native ones and can easily devastate an ecosystem. Make sure that your pet store has a return policy and look for one with buy-back policies. (Usually the independent ones will accept fish for a partial credit.)

Answer 2

Go for a fighting fish (Betta) or some guppies.

A betta is very low maintenance, but doesn't go well with other fish (especially of it's own kind). You can get food specifically for them that usually costs about the same as regular fish food. Just be sure to feed it small amounts at a time (to prevent cloudy water) and don't put it's bowl or tank where the water is going to get cold.

Guppies need warm water, at least 1 gallon per fish, and are very active. Be sure to ask for only males (they have longer, more colorful fins and have a pointy fin on their underside) if you don't want to have bunches of them. They're fine with regular tropical fish food.

Answer 3

Goldfish are high maintenance. Not good for beginners.

Bettas are easy and can live in smaller containers like a 5 gallon aquarium. I recomend a filter although many people like to keep their fish in stagnant water, I think that's horrible.

Easy tropicals are mollies, guppys, platys, small schooling tetras and the like. Any small tropical community that I have seen in the stores seem to be pretty hardy.

If you wish to keep these, you will need at least a 10 gallon tank, a heater and a filter.

Answer 4

Fish that are easy to take care of....you can't choose from saltwater, since they require a lot more maintenance than most people think.
Freshwater you could have more of a variety like guppies, which are extremely beautiful. Bettas, very low maintenance. Basically you could choose from many freshwater fish, but also research them to see if you can handle them.
Coldwater fish like goldfish and koi do require a lot of room when in a tank and you need to clean their tank regularly to keep it from getting dirty, but they are easy to take care of as well.

Answer 5

Neon fish are really cool to watch and easy to take care of as well as rasboras which are fast, smart, and attractive. Bettas are very attractive (would'nt say cute) because of their colors and long fins. Good luck!

Answer 6

Nemo is a clown fish, along with sharks, and other fish as such are saltwater fish. To care for such fish would require a huge financial investment. I suggest goldfish, there is little cost .25 cents for the fish, $2 for the food. A fish bowl requires weekly cleaning, this intales relocating the fish (glass of water,) emptying the bowl scrubbing it, refilling it with luke-warm water, and returning the fish to it's home. It would be worth the investment to purchase a tank with a filter. This would also require an algae eater, and occasional maintenance to the filter. I still say it's easier. One last thing: guppies are a little more costly, but they multiply quite rapidly.

Answer 8

Guppies are easy-to-care fish and are also easy-to-breed fish, they need food and sunlight, that's it, no matter how small, they can still live, I once have 3 guppies in my cup for three years, nothing went wrong with them.

P.S. Separate the parents and the guppies babies, they'll eat them

goldfish are messy anf get large... forget them. you need to decide how big a tank you can get first. but, generally the easiest set up: 5gallon filtered and heated tank with a male betta. change 25% of the water once a week using a gravel siphon. that's as easy as it gets.
