For the starter fish, I was thinking two coy fish. They look so beautiful and I heard there very low maitence?

Answer 1

Koi belong in a pond. They get to over 18". White Cloud Mountain Minnows are considered the best for newbies.

Answer 2

Koi get huge (over 2 feet long). They are really high maintenance unless you have the water space (a pond). They have a huge output of ammonia like other goldfish and need a lot of cleaning, water changes, etc. In a regular home aquarium, they're growth will be stunted as well.
The main fish that put out a lot of waste (and are therefore "higher" maintenance) are South/Central American cichlids (except angels), plecos and goldfish. Other fish are high maintenance due to needing near pristine water conditions, like discus.

Answer 3

Not such a good starter fish in my opinion to be honest. Koi get really large. As in too big for anything smaller than the very largest tanks or a pond. They are really pretty though.

Answer 4

Depends on the size of the tank or pond. If you are going for a koi pond, you can start with koi if your initial investment is low. Otherwise, start out with Comets or Goldfish, feeders are the best, you can get them for like 12 for a buck.

Answer 5

I wouldn't recommend Coy for starter fish. They get really big. I suggest a betta or comet goldfish.

Answer 6

yep,they are actually a low maintenance type of fish than any other aquatic fish,,,,, but one thing you will be bothered about them is the huge appetite they have,, they et a lot believe me,,it is as though they always hungry,,,,but it's fine they look cute when they eat and they are known to bring good look,,,why don't you try to have a flowerhorn instead?,,,,, hehehe just suggesting

Answer 7

Koi are low maintenance, but they will grow very large.

Get some Guppies, they are easy to take care of, and can live at room temperature.
