Recommended Fish

Goldfish: usually don’t live very long but in some cases they can live up to a year.

Betta Fish: can live up to 5 years and make great pets. Do not put to bettas ( or any other fish) in same tank; they will fight and ultimately kill each other.

Neon Tetras: Neons generally do best when kept in a species tank over a community tank. They are schooling fish, usually forming groups of six of more.

More Recommended Fish

Swordtails: can grow to be about 4 inches in length, making them good residents for just about any freshwater aquarium. In an aquarium environment, swordtails are generally peaceful, but male swordtails may be aggressive toward each other.

Platies These broad-bodied fish are close relatives of swordtails. Domestic platies come in a wide variety of colors and are fairly easy to breed, as long as they are given enough plants to provide some privacy

Not Recommended Fish

Eels: Many eels grow to a large adult size that is not suitable for the average tank.

Catfish: Although they start out small, catfish can grow to be very large, anywhere from one to fifteen feet long

Aquariums

Fish need space, so their aquarium should be about one in a half square feet.

Clean the tank once per month if you do not have a filter.

Feeding

Feed them in the morning and the evening.

Feed them one pinch of food. If you have multiple fish feed them

one pinch per fish.

Decorating the tank

Put pebbles on the tank floor. Put plastic seaweed in the tank. If wanted put fake houses , treasure

chests etc. Put poster on the back, outside tank

to make a cool background.

Sick Fish

Check on your fish regularly, if he is sick prepare for a fish funeral.

When small fish like goldfish get sick they probably will not recover.
