Goldfish

There’s a reason why the goldfish is perhaps the most recognizable fish in existence. These iconic pets are hardy, easy to take care of, and live relatively long.

Betta

Tropical fish initially endemic to the calm waterways of the Mekong. These small, colorful fishes are known for being aggressive towards other fish, thus the name “Siamese fighting fish.”

Guppies

Guppies are small, lively fish that can add a splash of color to any tank. They come in an array of vibrant hues and patterns.  Best for being low maintenance!

3

Mollies

Mollies share the same genus as guppies, and that’s because they’re genetic cousins that diverged from a common ancestor. As such, they share many similar traits!

4

Tetras

Tetras are some of the easiest fish to care for beginners. They’re trendy in the beginner fishkeeping community due to their small size and bright colors.

5

Danios

Danios are zippy, tropical freshwater fishes native to South and Southeast Asia. They’re active swimmers that can bring life and color to any freshwater aquarium.
