Honestly I prefer “beginner” fish simply because that’s the kind of guy I am. I like hardy, low maintenance, easy to care for, readily available, stress free, etc. Plus the fact they’re so common and popular makes it easy (and fun) for me to research and learn as much as I can about them
@AVDB956 ай бұрын
For me I like some beginner fish especially schooling fish like cardinals, black phantoms or lambchop rasbora. I would even argue that my bichirs are beginner level. They do grow big but besides that they are verry easy to care for. It's just livebearers that aren't my thing. I think it's a combo off their hyper behavior and the unnatural colors. I also have soft water so not ideal for them anyway.

Some off my can't live without fish: Bristlenose pleco's and blue phantom pleco's, they are the best pleco's in my opinion as they are decent algae eaters that stay small compared to some other pleco's. Cardinal tetra's and black phantom tetra's, the combo off those also looks verry good. Appistogramma's especially the high bodied ones like for example macmasteri. Their shape resembles more boisterous cichlids like oscars but they stay a manageable size, are calmer and can live in a planted tank. Also their are so many species all with diffrent colors and paterns. I also ordered some angelfish and if that goes well they might also make the list. Working in a LFS I really learned to appreciate angelfish, they are calm but still personable.

They also have four babies who are growing very quickly. (3) Roseline shark (barb) - I prefer to call them roseline barbs because they are not closely related to sharks. They are so beautiful and serene. (4) Threadfin rainbowfish - These lovely fish look like they are from an alien planet--just strange with their pointed mouths and long slim physique. They are incredibly peaceful and the males put on stunning displays when they puff out their fins. (5) Angelicus loach - These loaches are peaceful and each one has a unique pattern of spot and line on its body. Sometimes they forget that they are bottom feeders and the swim up to eat with the other fish.

I've had a few fish in my time but Endlers (males only, don't want a ton), Angel fish (single in a tank at a time), a Pleco (had a Sailfin that was a real character, besides striking and active), Bettas (also like puppies with so much personality), Long-finned Rosey Barbs (resemble goldfish but much smaller and less mess), Gourami (love their long feeler fins that they use to reinforce their "boundaries"), Cherry Shrimp, Amono Shrimp (surprising amount of personality in one of my first [very dramatic]) and, begrudgingly, Silver Dollars (adopted a huge one that was like a pet [High-ho] plus the nutty ones in our work tank ["second generation " of Nickle and Dime - there always seems to be a "dime" in the pair]). I agree that the label, beginner, can negatively affect our perception of fish that we should all really try and experience even if we are more experienced aquarist. I have come to appreciate the ease and hardiness of these and enjoy my tanks much more. I'm planning on trying some long-finned Zebra Danios, who I have always thought were very pretty but, in the the past, looked down on because of the above label.

I’m not sure if it’s my luck, but I’ve kept both platys and mollys in the same tank and I kept having to rehome platys because of behavioral issues (I kept a really generous male to female ratio, and regardless, one of the fish I had to rehome was a female), but have never had those issues with the mollys. Now I just have one female platy, a few of her fry, and the rest are mollys. She’s living her best life now that she isn’t being harassed by the one female. Even though Mollys are “beginner” fish, I’ve really enjoyed keeping them. I’ve found that I enjoy raising fry, even though I don’t specifically try to breed them (I only have 2 males vs 10 females to keep the peace). They definitely have their own personalities if you watch for long enough.

Loved this video, and that you put in so much information about their behavior. Normally people just talk about how the fish looks, how big they get and what size of aquarium they need. I haven't kept fish nearly as long as you have, but I don't agree on your list :D For example I can't see myself ever having clown loaches, or pea puffers. Totally agree on shrimps, snails and guppies though! The way you described how you look at shrimps, when it's just interesting watching them and see what they're up to now, that's how I want my aquariums. I love shrimps. I also do love rainbowfish, especially the smaller ones, like the Pseudomugils. Yes, they're a bit expensive, especially since they don't breed easily and don't live that long. But they're fantastic. I also would say to people that they should try the threadfin rainbow (Iriatherina werneri). They're pretty new to me, but I really enjoy just sit and look at what they're up to. Just like the shrimps. Otherwise my list of "Fish I have to try" is way longer than "Fish I believe everyone should try" 😅 Next time I'm buying fish, it will be gouramis. Haven't tried that yet.
