What kind of fish should I get for my daughter2007-11-24 23:42:24

don't go with a goldfish - we all know how they like to die on us.

Yes water frogs are great. They don't need much care and they live for ever. I've had 4 for well over a year and they are so good. Mine are African Clawed Frogs. The only thing is is that if you don't want them anymore you can't set them free in the wild, unless you happen to live in Africa. They will dominate our eco-system. A teacher let hers loose in California, and they can't get rid of them.

If you have your heart set on fish, goldfish really are best. Betas are a close second, I had 2 that lived over two years. Unfortunately, fish in captivity rarely live a full life. If you have the time, (and money of course) you might want to consider a koi pond. Koi are magnificent fish. Here's a site for you:

Good luck!

I had a couple of Minnows left over after fishing so we stuck them in our Aquarium and one lived for 3 years. We called him Jaws! Goldfish are ok but they're messy you have to change the water often.

a goldfish is known to last a long time. An oscar fish will last a long time but they grow very big (well ours did). They look very cute when they are little then get ulgy when they get big. We had a Jack Dempsy that lasted for 5 or 6 years until my step-grandpa killed him on accident. Ask your local pet suppy store. They should be able to tell you the best answer.

guppies are cute and fun and generally easy to take care of.
