What kind of fish should I get...?

Question

Like, are bettas good? How long can they live? I want a fish that if you talke care of it really well, it will live to be 5 or 6 or older? Thank you guys sooooo much!!!

Answer 1

I had two bettas (in separate tanks of course), and they lived about five years. Easiest fish I've ever had, no filters, no heaters, no air pumps.
Now I have goldfish. Easy, too, but they do need a good filtering system and more space. With them I have a nine year old plecostomus, huge and healthy.
I would recommend either of those for starters.
And guppys are quite easy, two, but they reproduce like mad and i don't know if you want that.

Answer 2

I like Arowanas, if you have big tank like mine. I have two Arowanas. This is a fish you can not buy at Petco or Petsmart. YOu can buy the cheap ones in some chinese fish stores. Arrownas can be very expensive. they can cause up to $5000.00 U.S dallars.

Check out the links below. I know you will enjoy them.

**they require Big fish tanks and you will only need one fish in there. Very nice watch him swim.**

Answer 3

If you want a fish that is pretty, active and relatively easy to care for, try getting a couple of Platys to start. If you want them to breed, you will be pleased.. these little guys breed easily.. and they are live bearing. I recently watched one of mine give birth to 43 little ones.. it was very cool.

Answer 4

Hours or days?

Betas are cool because if you ignore them they'll survive for five or six days, no problem. If you're bored you can hold up a mirror to his little jar and watch him bash himself senseless into the side.

Answer 5

they could help you at petsmart but most fish live for good five years if you take real good care of them

Answer 6

a shark
