There are a variety of freshwater tropical fish that can be added to the fish tank, but my two favorites are Mollies and fancy guppies. These fish are livebearers meaning that instead of laying eggs, giving birth to a small minnow and they are, in fact, very easy rising, even for a beginner hobbyist.
Mollies
A Molly is a big fish for a beginner hobbyist. These fish are fairly abundant and resist adversity and conditions so that if you make a mistake that can have a good chance to survive. You want to be sure you have at least one tank 15 gallons and has a good heater as these fish like the temperature between 70 and 82 ° F.
There are two general types of Mollies to choose between the fin and sail-finned short. Most commonly you will find a short finned Mollies – the Black Molly and Molly gold dust in your pet store. The Vela fins are much larger than have a surprising, but are more difficult to care.
Mollies can feed regular food scales that are found in the fish store, but you may want to consider mixing in some freeze dried blood worms and even throw a little black worm or two for a treat. If your tank has not finished a lot of algae also want to supplement your diet with spirulina flakes.
If given the right environment and care Mollies can grow to two inches long and live up to five years of age.
Fantasy Olominas
The guppy male fantasy is beautiful with a long flowing tail light comes in a variety of beautiful colors – gold, green, blue, red, black. The female, on the other hand is quite simple to enter grayish brown. Many people love the guppy is a freshwater tropical fish tanks and maintain multiple copies of them that really maximizes the beauty of colors, and to swim in a school.
if you plan to maintain, or perhaps even breeding, believed until then they want to be sure you have enough tank large to allow sufficient space heater good as they like to be between 78 and 82 ° F.
In general, the guppies are easy to maintain that can give eating food supplemented with frozen brine flakes floating vagabond or dried blood worms.
You want to keep twice as many females than males in your aquarium. Also can keep Neon Tetras, ghost shrimp, glass fish, gouramis, dwarf frogs and catfish. Given the right conditions guppies can be about 2 inches long and live about three years.
The two fish in guppies will do better if you add a little sea salt to your tank of freshwater fish – only one tablespoon per 5 gallons should do. You may be able to keep them in a bowl together, but just be aware that the largest Mollies can attack the guppies.
