what's is the best fresh water fish for a 10 gallon fish tank that can live the longest,and don't get to scared when someone put they'r hands in the tank or trying to change the water?

Answers:

There are a lot of fish you can put into a 10 gallon, but I think they will all get a bit scared when you put your hand in there. If you have lots of hiding spots for them, they'll be fine.

Black/White skirt tetras (get a school of 5+)

Guppies

Mollies

Swordtails

Betta

Dwarf Gourami

White Clouds

Cories

Neon Tetras

Rasboras

I will say gubbies. Because thy are tiny and can by colorful. They cost 10 for a dollar. And there is plenty of room for gubbies inside a 10 gallon tank.

They also multiply well.

I find freshwater angelfish to be the most forgiving. I've got one going on 7 years now. The thing is you can only have 5 gallons of water per angel for them to be comfortable. Some algae eaters or a pleco would also be a suitable addition; they're bottom-dwellers, and angels are active mid-high level dwellers. The algae eaters will help keep the algae down while minding their own business, as angelfish are semi-aggressive (and very aggressive when they want to spawn.assuming you manage to pick out a male and female).

Angelfish are fine between 72*F-80*F, can be fed a good tropical fish flake diet, and last a long, long time under the right parameters.
