Guppies are the easiest.they self-populate, need no heater, are easy to care for, and don't cost a lot of money. IF you live in a cold area during winter, and IF the heat is turned way down during vacations in winter, you may need a heater to keep the water at least 65-70 degrees during that time. Good luck

baitta fish are typical, because they are really low maintnance, but tropicla fish are way more interesting

Betta Fish.

peranas

If the kids are fairly easy to control, and you would not have a fear of them dumping food into the tank at will - then yes Bettas or Guppies are fun to start with. Both can be fairly colorful (especially the male Betta and male Guppies), but I guess a lot depends on the age of these kids in the classroom, and if it is a project to teach them responsibility for caring for a pet.

In any case - good luck!

These aren't fish. but tadpoles are lots of fun! If you don't live by a pond I don't know where'd you get them. But anyway, then your class can watch them grow into frogs. All the need is a basic fish tank and they can eat basic fish food. Pinch once a day. The tank need to be cleaned regularly. When they start developing legs provide them a way to get out of the water so they can breathe. Also, when you first get them, if they're from a pond, originally fill up the tank with pond water. Then next day have it 2/3 pond water, 1/3 tap. Then 2/3 tap and 1/3 pond. Then they will be okay with tap water. When they turn into frogs just release them in a pond, preferably where they came from. If it's the right time of year you can get some more then!

I think it depends on the age of the kids. When we had fish for our 3 year olds we got goldfish or feeder fish. Both are easy to take care of and pretty cheap.
