Some good options of fish for beginners are: 1. Betta fish - easy to care for and only need a small tank 2. Guppies - colorful and active, also easy to care for 3. Tetras - hardy and adaptable to different water conditions 4. Goldfish - durable and long-lived, but require larger tanks and more maintenance 5. Swordtails - peaceful and easy to care for, but need more space than guppies 6. Corydoras catfish - bottom-dwellers that help keep the tank clean 7. Danios - active and hardy fish that can tolerate cooler temperatures. It is important to research the specific needs of any fish before bringing them home to ensure they receive proper care.

Goldfish are the best beginner fish, but there are other lesser known options like tetra, and betta fish.

My kids have been begging me for a pet fish for months, and last week I finally broke down. The pet shop workers told me the best kind of fish for beginning pet owners and kids are goldfish, betta fish, tetra fish and danios.

I started with swedish fish. They were really sweet but eventually they gave me a headache. So then I moved on to gold fish, they had a good crunch with just the right amount of flavor at first, but after a while they started to taste bland. But not before I started to feel sick. you wanna know what I learned? dont eat a lot of swedish fish and gold fish in one day. especially not when babysitting. even if they are just laying out for anyone to take, just don't do it.
