Tropical Fish
What is the best starter freshwater tropical fish to get?
I have a seventy litre tropical fish tank and I was wondering what the best starter fish would be to get that are cheap and easy to look after.
I want a few fish in the tank and feed them on tropical fish flakes NOT live food.
I want fish that will get along with each other and are brightly coloured and lively.
If you have a answer that doesn’t fit this criteria feel free to put it anyway as I am open to all ideas.
I would like a few different types of fish in my tank that get along.
Black mollies or black skirt tetras. Both extremely hardy and you can go two different ways depending on which fish you get.
If you do mollies, know they are liver bearers and you need but get two before you have a tank of 10704750374-107351037415074350743,lol but this fish is so hardy, I used them to even start my saltwater tank (even thought they are freshwater fish, they can be acclimated with ease into a salt, or brackish water environment) and guess who is still living wonderfully well, in my salt tank, lol. 6 of my starter mollies, lol . They have babies and the babies feed the other fish at times, it works out wonderfully.
Black tetras are also a very hardy fish that can go in a newly set up tank. The tetra family is one to truly be desired as it is very colorful and you have all level of swimmers. So you get lots of nice activity in your fish tank.
Both fish will need some extra green in their diet other than the flakes; I give mine zucchini once a week, tied to a rock. They go crazy…
Whatever you do, no matter what fish you start with, don’t fill your tank up, make sure you buy just two, because it’s a new tank, they may not make it until it cycles out.
Enjoy your new hobby!
