What kind of fish is best2007-11-24 23:42:22

If you are 12 yrs. then you need a happy tank. Start with some "Neon's" (you can even get a black light for your tank to watch them glow). If you are just gonna use a single bowl fish then get a Goldfish. They come in many kinds. Please have fun decorating your bowl/tank. It's quite fun and becomes an educational hobby as you grow into bigger tanks. Maybe someday you can even make a salt water tank. Find a fish store or Pet Smart. Do not buy fish from Walmart or stores like that. They have unhealthy, and diseased fish. Walmart does sometimes have cute aquarium/bowl decorations. Good luck and stay away from those Betas or other mean fish.

Hey there!

Bettas are awesome fish- absolutely AWESOME! They don't need a pump filter, I just kept mine in a big gallon jar with some gravel and a plastic plant! LOL!! and I gave him a couple of food pellets a day, and he lived for about 4 years. That's pretty old for one of these guys.

I also like the plain old goldfish. i know it might sound boring, but these are very simple fish to take care of, I have a goldfish I have had for over 5 years, and a --I can't spell this-- plocostomous-- you know, an algae eater, they can live together , he will need a pump but can go for a little while without one if your power goes out. (I had to go through the Hurricane katrina without power for a couple of weeks and my fish did great.)

There are all kinds of goldfish out there, too. The fish I mentioned are all very inexpensive, undemanding and are super easy to care for. I also feed my goldfish small pieces(SMALL) of bread and lettuce.

Hope this gave you some ideas.LOL!!

A betta is a good fish to start with. They are cheap, and don't need a pricey tank like most fish. The key is to keep the water clean, the temp stable, and don't over feed. In containers less than 2.5 gallons you'll need to change the water every 4 days. As always read up on betta talk before you buy a betta.
