We have sort out top ten ornamental fishes witch are easy to get and suitable for aquarium culture. Those fishes are hardy in nature and easy to maintain. Just give food and change water regularly to keep them happy and to make your living room look different. Here is our list-
1. Gold fish
Gold fish come in many varieties of sizes and colors. Many people love the fancier varieties with bubbly heads and fanned tails.
Gold fish are great for beginners who have an unheated aquarium. These fish prefer temperatures between 62-74 degrees Fahrenheit.Gold fish tend to be messy eaters. So, be sure to change 10 percent of the water each week.Treating the water with a dechlorinator is also a good idea.
2. Guppies
Another freshwater fish that is perfect for beginners is Guppies. Although the behavior and characteristics tend to be the same from fish to fish , Guppies come in a wide range of colors.
They are a hardy fish, and they can eat regular fish flakes. The fact that Guppies can go over a week without food, shows how hardy they are.
3. Zebra Danio
Danios are hardy, energetic, and mild tempered fish. They are good fish for most aquariums, and Danios are strongly recommended as good fish for beginners in their first aquarium.
4. Betta
If you are looking for additional flash and color, the betta fish is the one for you. The males have brilliantly bright long fins.
They are also known as Siamese Fighting Fish. They fight with other bettas, so you will only want one in your tank.
These fish are hardy and will eat flake food or pellets. Because of the male betta fish’s long fins, be sure not to pair them with others who might pick at the fins.
5. Mollies
Mollies are a versatile fish which can survive in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, if the changes are made gradually. They are great for beginners because they are extremely hardy, and are not as aggressive as some other tropical fish. There are many too choose from, and the term ‘mollies’ is quite vague, since there are so many variations of size, color and optimal tank conditions.
Because of the vast difference between each type of molly fish, choosing the right water conditions can be tough. However, all mollies prefer warm water, so a temperature between 25 and 28 degrees would be optimal.
6. Pleco
Plecos are peaceful, but very territorial, so if you plan on keeping more than one, it is recommended that you fill the bottom of your tank with rocks and wood ornaments, so they can find a place to call their own.
Growing up to 5 inches in length, they have a lifespan of up to 8 years under optimal tank conditions.
7. Tetra
Although small in size, these beautifully coloured fish will surely take advantage of every bit of space in your tank.
They love being in groups, so the bigger the group, the happier they will be, so don’t be afraid of keeping as many as you want.
8. Angel fish
The Freshwater Angelfish hails from the rivers of South America. Triangularly shaped and thin pressed, they hide among roots and plants before ambushing their prey. Their coloring helps to provide additional camouflage. Interestingly, Angelfish form monogamous mating pairs. They are one of the most commonly kept freshwater aquarium fish as they bring a unique and beautiful shape and coloring to the tank. They are considered semi-aggressive and should not be kept in aquariums with tiny fish such as Tetras as the Angelfish may eat them.
9. Pearl Gourami
Also known as the Lace Gourami, this freshwater fish is one of the most popular Gourami fish for aquarium lovers, thanks to it’s beautiful appearance and its hardy build. They are easy to care for, and can be kept in tanks with at least 30 gallons of water, but like many other types of Gourami, they do require space at the top of the tank so they can breath air.
When it comes to feeding time, the Pearl Gourami can eat a wide variety of different foods, both plant based, and meat based. For the best overall nutrition, we recommend feeding an algae based flake food, as well as live food such as brine shrimp, blood-worms and tubifex.
10. Kuhli Loach
Being a bottom feeder, the Kuhli Loach will eat just about any spare food that has dropped to the bottom of the tank, including live foods such as worms and shrimp. The bulk of their diet should be general fish pellets.
They are a peaceful fish who will live happily with most other non aggressive fish, but make sure you don’t house them with anything too big which may mistake them for food. To keep them happy, you should keep at least 3 at a time.
