Fish to get?

[Guggiboy123]

Hey everyone I'm a newbie to fish. I'm going to be getting from anywhere from a 30 to 60 gallon tank. What are some good fish to get that arnt to hard to take care of?

Welcome to AA do you have any particular fish or type that you like. I'm guessing you wanna go fresh water first and not salt right? Id recommend a SW tank

Yes I'm going with fresh water.. I like cichlids but they look like a harder fish to maintain

 

[Crazy fish man]

Actually there not that hard to maintain

 

[Mrc8858]

Cichlids can be a great start but research is a must though because most can be very aggressive

Edit* also most cichlids will need a large tank so bigger the better

Ok r they easy to take care of

Yellow Labs are a great starter mbuna and are on the low end of the aggression scale but kenyi can be highly aggressive I wouldn't reccomend them to begin with. You could do a group of mbunas like yellow labs and electric blues

If you have the yellow lab I would get peaceful african cichlids like kribs. Generally you want all the fish in your tank to have the same temperment.

What if I get 3 electric blues and 3 electric yellows

 

[Mrc8858]

If its all males that'll be fine or you could do 1 male of each and three females of each for two breeding groups but you'll need a 55 gallon or bigger preferably

Ok I'll post what size tank I get when I buy one

 

[Mrc8858]

If its an option get a 75 they are great tanks

+1 they really are a great newbie tank, it may sound like a lot but the larger body of water helps keep the lvs in check, as well as provides countless stocking options.

Not only for the new to the hobby, but even later when you have been in the hobby for a while and want to try the harder fish to keep.
