I haven't had any fish since my parents had a 20 gallon or so tank when I was a wee little guy 30+ years ago, so experience is basically zero.
Our kids are becoming of age (3.5 & 6) that they would like a pet to help with, so of course fish are a likely candidate. Kids are kids, therefore not looking to dump heaps of cash into this if/when their interest wanes, so looking to stay small with easy, hardy fish at first.
Maybe a 2.5-5 gallon tank for a betta or a 5 gallon tank for something else that's well-suited for beginners?
