Fish suggestions?

Question
What is a good fish for beginners? I'm thinking of getting a 5 gallon tank, with a filtration (Marineland's 5 gallon bowfront tank). I want fish that are attractive, too. Thanks for all your help!

Answer
Hi Bobby,

Marineland aquariums are a great choice!

Unfortunately, with such a small aquarium, your choices are limited. However, there's still a few choices of attractive, yet hardy fish:

-Zebra Danios
-Platy Fish
-Betta Fish
-Guppies
-Corydoras Catfish

These are all commonly available at any fish store.

Good Luck, and Happy Fishkeeping!
