The Best Aquarium Fish

what are the best aquarium freshwater fish to look at?

i want the most colourful and best looking fish. i know Salt Water fish and Reef Fish look better but i am just starting out and a salt water tank will be too complicated for me to maintain. also are trutles hard to look after and can they live in a tank with fish?

I like livebearers if you want colorful fish that are easy to care for. These would include guppies, platies (also called moons), swordtails, and mollies. All will do well in a tropical fish tank and if you get males and females, they’re easy to breed. You can tell the males easily if you look at the bottom fin near the tail. Females’ are shaped like a triangle, but the males’ are thin and pointed. If you get males and females. get twice as many females as males. If you just want pretty, get all males – they’re more colorful.

Bettas are colorful as well, and they can be mixed with other fish – just not another betta if it’s a male. Dwarf gouramis are very pretty too – but you shouldn’t mix a betta and a gourami in the same tank.

Some tetras are colorful – especially neons and cardinals

See the websites below for info on these fish and others that can be kept with them. If you don’t already have a tank, consider getting a 20 gallon – it’ll give you more room so you can keep a larger number and variety of fish.

As far as a turtle, most common turtles (red eared sliders) will get between 7 and 16 inches (females are larger than males) so you’d need an even bigger tank to keep one of these – and they will eat fish if they catch them. They also need a really good filtration system because they make a mess of the water. If you’re interested in a turtle, I’d recommend keeping it in a separate tank (at least 30-55 gallon).
