Aquarium fish for beginners

Irina

I'm going to get some fish for my child. Please advise which one is better to choose? Just not guppies with swordtails...

Interesting fish are platies and ternets. In our aquarium they get along well with each other, both species are unpretentious and caring for them is the simplest - feed them and clean the aquarium periodically. That's all.

Thank you! I'll definitely take a closer look at these types. I just want to put an aquarium in the children's room, since it humidifies the air well (instead of a humidifier, so to speak).

Yes, and for some reason everyone thinks that first you need to have a small aquarium. But in my opinion, this is completely wrong - the larger the aquarium, the easier it is to care for.

Hello! It depends on what type of fish you want, exotic or ordinary? If this is the first type, then I recommend NEMO and Veiled gold, very beautiful types of fish.

For complex care of goldfish, catfish are ideal for beginners, especially since they are now of different colors and shades and not just plain gray. Catfish also live in water above 20 degrees, and if you forget to turn on the filter, nothing will happen to them.

Guppies are a fish for beginner aquarists. They are colorful and have a large tail.For care, they need light, an aquarium of up to 15 liters for 6 individuals and greenery. They eat all food and reproduce quickly. Moreover, a female can give birth to offspring up to 8 times without a male after 1 fertilization.

Yes, guppies are perhaps one of the most unpretentious species of aquarium fish. It’s true that many beginning aquarists suffer from the fact that fish reproduce quickly.

Definitely goldfish. They are very beautiful and caring for them is not difficult. They held it themselves, didn’t see any difficulties, it was a pleasure to watch them. Care consisted of special food and cleaning the aquarium and that’s it.

Offering goldfish to beginners only ruins the animals. It is better to keep veiled-tailed guppies and black molies. Both species are unpretentious, tenacious and do not react to errors in care by instantly floating belly up.

I also want to get some fish, but I don’t know which ones are best. what types do not require complex care???

Get a rooster, I’ve had it for three years now and it’s not particularly fussy. True, he is a predator, so it is better to keep one in a small aquarium; he definitely will not tolerate neighbors. But I can say that he is very beautiful and graceful.

When my son wanted to have aquarium fish, I first bought him a guppy. They are easy to care for and rarely get sick. I believe that it is better to start your path to fish breeding with them, you can gain experience without harming the fish.

Platies and gambusias are both unpretentious and not trivial like guppies. The platies are generally bright and elegant, there is something to look at.In addition, livebearers give abundant offspring without any problems.

In principle, I agree with the previous comments and I advise you to purchase viviparous fish. You can choose any aquarium, both large and small. and average. If there is a cabinet. measure its size and buy an aquarium for it.

It is better to immediately take a medium aquarium, 80-100 liters, it is easier to work with, the water in it does not spoil so much for an inexperienced aquarist, and there is enough space for fish and vegetation.

The guppy breed is best suited for beginners; there are also red swordtails, but they are more capricious than the first ones. If you feed your guppies with live food, they will be very beautiful.

If we talk about the size of the aquarium, I would suggest that for a “start” it is not large, it is not expensive and if the hobby for aquarium hobby passes, it would not be a shame to throw it in a landfill.

By the way, my maternal cousin asked me to give advice to readers to consider purchasing swordtails and other “viviparous” fish. For beginners in aquarium keeping, these are the most affordable.
