I know this is controversial but I think the best beginner fish is the fish you love. Nobody should be stuck with a fish they don't like too much because that's the beginner fish they were recommended. If a fish is loved then hopefully they have a better chance with an owner that will buy the bigger tank and spend loads of time doing their research and the fish will live it's whole life with one owner who cares for it daily. Tons of research and learning is required for any fish, so go the extra mile for the fish you REALLY want.
I fully agree
A really great comment! Plus having this platform and folks like Jason and Joanna you can find so much incredible information that you can actually keep the fish that you want from the beginning if you do your research!!! 💪🙌💚🌿🐟🌿
Really well said! 💯
@@marypaigeflynn4512 Absolutely! I think RUclips and channels like this are the biggest gift to the hobby.
💯
I really love so many different perspectives on this. LRB nailed it with knowing your water. Even some “easy fish” can be difficult if your water is either really soft or hard.
I started with African Cichlids, and I’m so glad that I did. It was definitely a steep learning curve, and PLENTY of mistakes were made, but it forced me to learn quicklu, try new things to find what works, and really grew my enthusiasm for the hobby. Cichlid personalities are all different, and so rewarding to take care of. Personal opinion here, but I feel like I wouldn’t have the same enthusiasm for the hobby if I started with a molly, guppy, platty or betas. I am surprised that nobody mentioned goldfish. They are historically a very popular beginner fish.
I really want to shout out 16:15 Looking at my water parameters/conditions from the tap really helped me decide what fish to get. I didn't look at this at all the first time around and I'm so glad I did this time. Finding a fish that is happy with my water conditions and starting to get into plants (even with just pebble - intert substrate) really made me successful this time.
I was a little surprised that no one said Danios. They are 1) very hard, 2) very active, 3) are great tankmates with almost any other fish, 4) easy to breed, 5) low maintenance, 6) live a fairly decent amount of time.
Where i disagree:
Betta - most people want more than one fish and as a community fish it's a hit or miss. I have one Betta that is calm with its tankmates and another that bullies from time to time.
Guppies - although guppies are beautiful, they have a short life span. Nothing turns people away from the hobby more than fish dying.
Platies - in my experience I've have had several platies die on me without knowing why, so I personally can't recommend them as beginner fish.
Other good options:
Mollies/Swordtails - are good options being that they look similar in shape to the popular goldfish w/o the mess. They also grow to a decent size and don't need to large a tank. If you get mollies I recommend getting colorful ones.
Tetras - for small tanks, neon Tetras is a good option. For slightly larger tanks I prefer the Cardinal Tetras being that they're more colorful.
I was too…as far as easy and they are active and hard to kill….
Fishy Biz comin' in clutch!
My first tank 25 years ago was a 75 gallon Mbuna tank.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Serpae Tetras....those little guys are practically invincible.
Great collab video!
I got my 14 yes old daughter a 55 gallon aquarium 2 years ago. I got her 6 serpae and 6black skirt tetras and other fish. She still got 5 sealer and 4 black skirt. She's killed all the rest. Lol!
Awesome content as usual. So glad you guys are doing these panels with so many fishtubers. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos, and thanks to the panel for all of their opinions!!!
My favorites are bettas, I agree with my friend Lisa ♥️.... but that is not without research on having a proper tank for them. Another easily available fish that can go with your Betta are albino corydoras!! Those two fish are why I'm here in the fish fam today!! This is probably my favorite combinations ever!!
You absolutely brought in the best of the best of our fish tuber fish keepers with the best suggestions around!! Super cool to see MD here ♥️ along with Prime Time he has been one of my favorite channels ever that inspire you to just "go for it" and Aquascape! What an All-Star video Jason!! I love each and every one of these guys💪🙌💚🌿🐟🌿
Thank you! Yep, Bettas are the gateway fish for sure!
Lucas from LRB had the best answer , the water comes out of my well at 6.0 ph with tons of iron .
learn you water parameters then choose fish.
My favorite beginners fish is betta! Low maintenance. Awesome variety in colors. 😅
First and first to breed by complete accident was the dalmatian Molly when I was 10 years old. My favorite beginner fish would be the bronze cory which led me to get 4 more different types of corydoras (all seperate tanks). Easiest to breed would be super red bristlenose plecos. I have 2 55s and a 110 stock tank dedicated to them.
Please pay attention what the Lucas from LRB Aquatics says while choosing your fish.
You might kill any hardy fish if your tank's water parameters are not suitable for it.
I appreciate all the links to all the youtubers
I am surprised guppies didn't get more mentions.
Bolivian Ram. Very hardy. Beautiful, and tons of personality. 👍
as far as im concerned only one person is correct, and its so obvious you need to know your tank parameters before putting any fish in your tank, this is why so many new fish keepers lose fish in the beginning, lucas you nailed it dude
I know this isn't quite in the spirit of what you're asking, but I think the best beginner fish is the fish that grabbed your attention in the first place. Whether they're hard or easy, unless you simply can't provide the water quality or volume the fish you want requires, do your research on the fish that pulled you towards the hobby, research the parameters you're going to be able to provide within your home, and then just go for it. If you love oscars, don't go getting guppies or (*insert another "easy" species here) and then be saddled with them for who know how long.
Wow, freshwater Angel fish. That was a surprise but also so tempting! Great ideas and much appreciate them.
LRB with the perfect response
I like John from KG Tropics answer, I just recently discovered that angel fish do very well in my aquariums.
My favorite beginner fish is the Harlequin Rasbora, keept in groups of at least 6. Incredibly hardy, practically immortal, in my experience 😉Plus, you can keep them in small tanks, like a beginner is most likely to have at first. A second best for me would be, the Cichlasoma Nigrofasciatum, for a larger tank, keept alone or with a mate, nothing like experience for the first time a "water doggie", a highly personable fish that will interact with you. 🙂
LRB dropping wisdom!!
If I were just starting out, I would look at all the fish recommended, pick the one I like best, and then research that fish to make sure I have the right size aquarium and the right kind of water. Best advice I've heard over and over on RUclips is...don't fight your water. I think that's really important when you're first starting out.
👍❤👍
Rob described our first tank story exactly. Haha.
Great videos! My top pick is Medaka:). And as mentioned in the video it is best to know your water and then will be much easier to keep the suitable fish.
My first fish were angels, neons, and guppies. But, I have to agree with you Jason, I love platys for a beginner fish for the exact reasons you listed! Cheers!🐠🦯
When I came back to this hobby I wanted to start out slow to see if it would hold my interest before I bought my dream fish. As my dream fish can live for 10 plus years. I found so much support from many of these channels. I now understand the process and I waited a year before getting my dream fish which is the blood parrots, which I have had for over a year now. I no longer fear the hobby, I've had my dream fish for over a year and I am planning new tanks all the time! Many of the faces on this video have helped me along the way. PrimeTime has been my main go to channel for all things fish. When I can't figure something out I hit a live stream and ask questions and boom, answers. So much easier than it was 20 years ago. I absolutely love the community that surrounds this hobby. Thank you all for making this hobby easier for everyone!
Thank you for being here!
Thank you everyone for your time, work and participation in this great, groundbreaking new series.
Such a great series! Thanks for all the collaboration - and thanks for including my favorite (platies) there at the end!
I love these type of videos! It is so cool to hear the opinions of all the different RUclips fishkeeping sites!!!
I started with goldfish way back before youtube was thought of! But knowing what I know now it would be a dwarf gourami or betta fish. Both are colorful and both have their own bright personality !
I really like hearing so many opinions in short succession. Ty
If I were picking on a fish purely on their ability to withstand even the worst of water conditions it would be the Convict Cichlid. And they're pretty fun to watch as well and will definitely breed if you mix any number of males and females. They aren't rare or highly sought after so you can find them really inexpensively. Only downside is that they grow larger than you standard guppy, molly, platy, etc. so they'd need a larger tank, 30gal, etc. for just a few of them. If smaller tank is what you're going for then certainly the livebearers, Molly, Platy, Guppy, and even a single male betta mixed in there as well. Again any of these fish should be really inexpensive and available at almost any store that sells aquarium fish.
Tiger barbs. Hardy, active, and come in a few different colors.
Know your perimeters,
& follow them.
Grow some plants. 🌱
Love these collaborations,
What an awesome idea!
🐟🐟🐟
Love your vids brother,could you make a video on the safest home remedies for diseases and natural food for shrimp and fish
Awesome. My favourite beginner fish is the endler guppy
Love those crazy little guys!
Great video! So fun to see so many familiar faces! I loved it!!!
I am a new fish keeper and I really just wanted aquatic plants. But I chose Rummy Nose Tetras for my first fish! I got 8 for a 40 gallon breeder. A bit extreme size but the tank was free!
Team Platy all the way! They're colorful, peaceful, engaging, and basically bulletproof. Bonus: they breed easily, but not as quickly as other livebearers (in my experience), so you don't run into the population explosion you get with guppies.
I guess I'm the only one who can't seem to keep Bettas alive; maybe it's my super hard/high pH water? I have great luck with rainbows, livebearers, and dwarf cichlids.
All good points!
Excellent video, gave me me alot of options. Thanks to all the creators for their suggestions
Great info team! Love this series.
I agree with The Bizz.
I expected the list to be guppy, guppy, guppy, guppy, betta, guppy, guppy, betta, platy, guppy, guppy. Great to hear there are so many fish species to choose from.
amazing guys just amazing great to see four of my favourite youtubers plus some others i watch
White Cloud Mountain minnows for sure
I also loved keeping them until my goldfish ate every single one until the last one jumped out of the tank. 😭
Great video guys! The two best beginner fish in my opinion are the black skirt tetras and harlequin rasboras.
Awesome video collaboration, love it!
My wife's "Tank Boss" is a 7-year-old scalare angelfish. She will get between two fighting fish to make them stop. XD I do NOT recommend Rummynoses foi beginners., though They can shock out and die just from being chased with a net. If you do choose them, keep an eye on their noses; if the red isn't vibrant, something's upsetting or hurting them.
My first and I still love them today. Corydora❤. I do have a yabby (crayfish) that my adult children bought home as a beginner fish. Bobby the yabbie has grown out of three tanks and the next size tank will be 4ft. Bobby is my favourite, happy accident.😊
My first fish (long long ago) were black skirt tetras. They are an excellent beginner fish, based on how many calamities in my early inexperienced days they survived
Nice review! Thanks to all.
As I watched the entire Video I was like, Yes! Tanner got it right out of the gate, and then Mike 'Fish Tank Barn' nailed it w/the Sunset Variatus!! A fish that truly ticks all the boxes! :)
Woohoo!
Mine is Platy, they are so active and available in many colours 🤩
Excellent video, I really enjoyed seeing and hearing from all these different channels. Super informative and entertaining 👍✌️
Thank you!
Wow Thanks Jason. @ KingofDIY I am so suprised that the Labyrinth organ is at the back of the head. I'd expect it to be in the throat. @KGtropicals That black Betta with the white face is stunning. @Ohiofish rescue. What was that Awesome fish with the long nose. It was AWESOME. oh I wish i could keep monster fish with everything else I want. LOL
Platies are great beginner fish
I agree :-)
Agree! They're colorful, peaceful, engaging, and super hardy! Bonus that they're live-bearers. I always suggest platies to new fishkeepers.
My beginner fish was a dojo loach. 😊
Mountain Minnow’s hands down 😜 That breed of fish could survive a nuclear winter 🤣 , For tiny little fellas they are as tough as old boots and thats what makes them So easy to keep for any one starting out that are more prone to errors . I just got a batch of 20 babies and I have been keeping fish 45 years . Sometimes the easy fish are the best. why ? less hassle / more enjoyment. minnows are the top of my list for sure , I love them.
They’re gorgeous, especially when the males challenge each other.
I’ve had the same group for 6-7 years now. Only three of their young have survived into adulthood because I keep them with newts that eat the fry. Well I did raise more than a dozen dry in a separate tank once and sold them off.
@@guy8646 yes I love the little displays they do to show off dominance to each other but it’s alway not too aggressive and they generally all stick together . Ive always keep a big group for years when a few die off I just add more to the bunch . I just lost one but he must of been around 4 years old . I find them to be the best small fish and I’ve probably kept most small fish over the years . Glad you like them to 👍
My first was a betta and I don't think it would've been a good beginner. Unless you want to learn a lot about fish diseases and treatments.
My second go will likely be platys.
I think a couple of things that need to be considered are budget and temperature. If the tank is in a cooler room, it can get expensive to heat it for a betta.
Plus if you don't want to buy all sorts of food, keep fish food in the freezer, then considering diet and how far are you willing to go would be important.
One reason I like platys is that some of them can handle cooler temps. I know White Clouds can too. But platys just look better.
Loved the video , but was a little surprised that zebra danios didn't get a mention. They are virtually bullet proof ,and in a group can look quite stunning under the right lighting
Actually, I am too 😀
I must be on the only one with has had the worst luck with Betta fish. Every single time I've had one it's never worked out. The only exception was Agent Frank Betta, who lived 1 year. I've decided to not get Betta fish for the time being. My beginning fish are tetra's, mollies, Swordtails, Cherry barbs, Harlequin Raspora's. Anything in this area are great. They're easy to take care of, and live for years. Hope all is well. Be Most Excellent to each other.
This video is everything 🙌 😍
Personally I think the best beginner fish is the rosy red minnows
I’m surprised no one said danios for beginners
I'm team White Cloud Mountain Minnow. 🙂
Best beginner fish any bristle nose Pleco. Hard he won’t jump so you don’t have to worry about a lid if you forget to go to the fish store you can feed them out of your kitchen green beans spinach zucchini tofu etc. and they will help on your tank maintenance.
White clouds!
This is just great
i started with 6 platies in a 55g tank, in no time i had around 30 in that tank.
Sweet!
Dearest Jason 😇and Johanna😇,
First and foremost happy anniversary! You for sharing it with all of us!
As the two people who have helped me by far the most with every scenario and question I have had in the past 3 months thank you always. 💕I have been thinking of a simple way to express my favorite beginner fish.i Can't.
I feel the need to address my fellow fishkeepers, especially the new ones like myself;
My favorite beginner fish is. ..
I honestly can't say because I feel like such a beginner myself. However I think any fish,no matter how Hardy in theory could fall victim to a fish keepers neglect at any stage in their life. let me explain what my first month of" beginners" fish keeping was like:
I nearly lost my baby Betta within the first 3 days (swim bladder disease from Petco)I had to crash course in that. 4days later after that I adopted female sword tail who dropped babies 2 weeks later, another crash course.
Then a week later came my rescue group and oh boy! Crash coursing on taking care of blood parrots, Tex cichlids firemouth and a common pleco in a uncycled 125 gallon tank. Half were sick /injured and two are deformed. I literally have slept along side the tank on a chair .stayed under the tank to monitor them ( no sand at that point). Fallen asleep with my head on their tank. Stayed up for days straight with no rest with their sicknesses.
🧠💭😱🤯🤯😱😬
That was my First month of my Fishkeeping. I would not recommend any of those scenarios as a beginner fish keeping circumstance but I reached out for assistance.try 2 be prepared for everything and anything. Use every educational resource possible. There is so much material to learn from now!Learn, pay attention,listen to Everything,React quickly if you notice something.I could never have made it through all of this without A LOT of HELP 🆘!
Without all the help of the RUclips Fish Keeping Community My dream of even being at the level I'm at right now would not have been possible. I could not be more grateful to those who have helped me and I in turn desire someday to assist others.
PS: my Brain 🧠 hurts⚡⚡🔥 from all this Crash coursing 😂.I admit it
Very good perspective!
😎💕🤗 everyday I ask for the forgiveness of:
my Fish and snails
2 aquatic bamboo and 1 tiny pothos plant
And The glorious Fishkeeping community I enteract with to have patience with my bajillion questions, concerns, missteps and fears.Thank you all and happy holidays Everyone!
This series is wonderful. I am loving it. One direct question with such diverse answers. That and the nuggets of wisdom from so many experts in the hobby all in one video. My thanks to all of those putting these videos together and all those taking time to participate.
Also enjoying getting to know the various fish tubers being spotlighted.
Thank you!
Rosy Barbs are colourful, super active will eat anything and are peaceful in a community tank. Also, in the event of a nuclear holocaust the only thing left will be cockroaches and Rosies.
can't believe nobody said harlequin rasbora
-- brilliant looking orange body with a cool black pattern
-- lovely schooling behavior
-- practically bulletproof in terms of resistance to disease
-- plant safe, shrimp safe, snail safe
-- totally peaceful so that you can add in a few tank mates like a gourami later on
perfect fish for any fishkeeper actually, not just beginners
yaaayyy MD Fish tankssss
I think african cichlids have the cutest faces of all the fish…puffers too🥹🥰☺️😊
Paradise fish. It is essentially a subtropical betta.
Perhaps the fish isn't the problem I'd suggest your filters,heaters,food be the factors to success I've bred discus,rams catfish,anglefish. I've tend to spend money on bigger filters heaters that can heat the tank to the low 90's ,thats incase i go back to discus heater only piece of equipment that should be recommended size. I currently have a 10-20 hang on filter aided by a cascade cascade 1000 with a sponge filter in my 26 gallon can handle slight overstocking. My food of choice bug bites and ocean nutrition, yeah i feed fresh fish ocean fish food and they love it and thrive.
My absolute favorite- the original Blue Acara Cichlids (not the Electrics), but they're rare to see in any pet stores in my area (Cincinnati). It may be that the young are considered plain and unattractive, but just wait until puberty hits for them. Their Latin name doesn't mean "pretty" for nothing. Tolerant of water conditions, easy to breed, generally not too agressive (for a Cichlid), and they don't grow to the size of your shoe, they deserve to be seen more often.
I guess if you are talking about beginner people who are likely to watch this type of video a lot of the suggestions would work. However when you are dealing with completely inexperienced people it is super hard to convince them to even get a 10gallon tank let alone the 40 or larger needed for some of these fish.
This may be a silly question, I'm new to the hobby...but are these suggestions assuming that a tank has been cycled properly and ready to have fish? Or are these for buying a tank and fish on the same day type of thing? Thanks!
Ya, it's all assuming the tanks have been cycled.
White Cloud Minnows (10-gallon and up)
Serpae Tetras (20-gallon and up)
Black Neon Tetras (20-gallon and up)
Black Skirt Tetras (20-gallon and up)
Bristlenose Pleco (20-gallon and up)
Giant Danios (30-gallon and up)
I don't know what I'm doing to my neon tetras but I just cannot get them to survive past a few days. I've had a tank for years and every time I get them, they die. I have however done fine with black neons.
The standards don’t do well for us either, but we have good luck with black neons and green neons.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics thank you! I may try the green!
I can't seem to keep them, either. They are not as hardy as people think (I think!). I'm fully stocked at this point, but I'd love to keep greens, too!
I think black Neon tetras are great beginner fish. I started with 6 Black neons and two years later I've still got them! Danios are also great starter fish. Don't agree with Bettas being good for beginners.
I started with danios and Corydoras..
Betta fish need some experience but definitely not beginner as beginners tend to feed excessively and betta have a very small belly, leading him to die, due to constipation. Plus if he goes through fin rot, a beginner is completely confused, not knowing what to do. Also betta's fins get nipped by schooling small fishes, generally kept by beginners. Please stop recommending betta as beginner and help save some lives. John is bullseye, with the Angelfish. Neon tetras also help the beginners to settle down.
A convict pair in something like a 20 long is my personal opinion the hardiest option.
I tried that. The male killed the female in a day. But he doesn't mind cory cats.
Awesome video! I enjoyed it a lot! I'm also making a Simple Fish Keeping series, so I hope that's okay with you. Keep up the amazing work! 😃
Sure - the video idea is open to all who create content.
LIVE BEARERS EVERY TIME 🤷ESPECIALLY IF THE NEW COMER IS VERY YOUNG.MY LADS WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE HOBBIE THIS WAY.THE EXCITEMENT WHEN THEY SEE SMALL BABIES IN THERE TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME.DEFINITELY GIVES THEM THE FISH KEEPING BUG 🤷ENDLERS OR GUPPYS..THE COLOURS WILL CATCH THERE EYES 👀 TO START WITH 👌🏻
Any fish can be a beginner fish. People just need to do their research and care for their tanks. I started with a Tanganyikan tank and never had a problem (or killed a fish!).
Tanganyikans might be my favorite group of fish!
Who knew John was gonna say angels and Lisa was gonna say betas
Yeah, didn't see that coming at all!
Jason I have tried to join the channel as a member a few times but can’t seem to get the link to work. It always just takes me to your channel. I noticed on aquarium co-ops page they have “Join” in blue next to their subscribe button. Just trying to help make sure people can join the channel, I’d love to become a supporter.
Thanks for letting me know!
Pearl guarami
I hit the like button But This video left me confused and wondering... HOW did John Not say Oscar 😱 🤣 Jk ... Great Video Thank You to All the Creators!!
I know! I was expecting that too. Haha
I agree with Taylor! Like this comment to vote for bettas 😄
Guppies for life!!!!
I disagree with Mollies for beginners as they can sometimes have difficulties transitioning to freshwater after being (most times) raised in brakish water and new beginners might not know how to deal with it or help their fish when they get fungus or bacterial infections.
That can certainly happen with store-bought mollies, but if you can get them from a local breeder that problem goes away!
rosy red minnows are invincible
Everybody keeps saying how great and easy are betta fish, well,I love them but they keep dying on me, today I lost the last one, I have 10 gal tanks, filters, hidies, heaters, great quality variety of food, weekly water changes, catappa leaves and they keep getting sick and dying, dropsy, rotten fin. I never use a tank or the accessories after it housed a sick fish, so please someone with knowledge tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what can I do because they're my favorite and beloved type of fish but today I got so sad and frustrated that I don't want to get another one, assuming he's going to die 😢💔
I’m sorry that happened. KG Tropicals sells some nice ones - ours has been very healthy.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I appreciate the advice, I live in Mexico though. I'd love to get some guidance to avoid my fish from dying 🙏🏼
