Top 5 Fish Perfect for Beginners

Here are 5 beginner-friendly fish that are hardy, beautiful, and easy to care for:

1. Betta Fish
Gorgeous and low-maintenance – just one per tank, please!

2. Neon Tetras
Small, colorful, and thrive in schools of 6+.

3. Guppies
Vibrant, lively, and perfect for any tank.

4. Corydoras Catfish
These bottom-dwellers clean up leftover food like pros.

5. Mollies
Peaceful and adaptable to a variety of tank conditions.

✨ Pro Tip: Start small with just a few fish, and let your tank cycle before adding more!
