What is the best fish to get for a beginner2007-11-24 23:40:57

The feeder fish (coy) are a carp and they can live in very poor quality water. But remember if you had to live in that tank how clean do you want the water to be.

Don't clean the very bottom of the tank (below the gravel)with a water vacuum. It will disterb the natural filtering system that will astablish in the tank(call a bio filter). Use the vacuum only to remove left over food and dropping from the surface of the gravel. You can also get a lot of information from your local pet store about fish and maintenance for the tank.Good luck with you fish.You will enjoy them I'm sure.P.S. Sorry about any missed spelled words as the spell check isn't working.

A pleco (cant remember its full name)

they are bullet proof. my friend once went on holiday and the fuse blew, when he came back a week later all his fish were dead, the water was filthy and cold and the pleco was still fine. but i reckon theres a problem with your ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, cos guppy's are quite tough. it sort out the problem with your water quality first

There are a number of good websites that tell you this. Do you have a freshwater or marine tank.

Good freshwater fish are

*Dwarf Gourami's

*Golden Barb's

*Mollies

Trust me on this one. Black Mollies or black skirt tetras.

Tiger barbs..They are hardy and does not require a lot of maintainence if the water is kept clean.Do not buy them as a pair as it will start 'fin-nipping' and do not buy a huge number if the tank is not cycled.
