Answers:

You must be a starter, well, if you're a starter, then you should start with goldfish. Although they won't last long, it's the easiest to take care of. If you have a pond, it would be the best but if you have a tank, you may want a 2 gallon tank, but if you have a bowl, I'm telling you, doesn't matter what type of fish, they'll die, especially guppies(betta's may last longer than other fish).Also remember that you should go in this order

(1)Coldwater

(2)Freshwater

(3)Saltwater

(4)Tropical

Make sure you have the highest water quality

possible.This would mean 0 ppm of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates; all of which you can test using a test kit or by having your local pet store test them for you. Don't add any more fish until you've had your water tested. If any of these levels are too high, you should do an immediate 25% water change. If your levels of ammonia are high, three 25% water changes over the course of a week may help.

In the future, you should perform a 25% water change every two weeks.This will help to control levels of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.The water changes will reduce any problems with water quality and help the fish combat parasites plus reduce any harmful bacteria.
