Different people have different needs, and for that reason, but three beginner fish: the Betta, the Neon Tetra, and the Black Molly.
Betta
The Betta is one of those popular fish that you can’t seem to go anywhere without seeing them. They come in a variety of colors and patterns as well as sizes, so they are perfect for those who want to show off their Aquariums.
Neon Tetra
Neon Tetras are another popular choice for beginners because they not only stay relatively small, but they’re also hardy and very easy to care for. You’ll find that this fish does need a little more attention than your average beginner fish and they need plenty of plant cover and hiding places in the tank.
Black Molly
The Black Molly is a great choice for beginners because they are inexpensive and they stay small, which means you can fit more in your tank and it won’t be too cluttered or look empty. They come from South America, so they do best when kept at tropical temperatures.
Betta, Neon Tetra, and Black Molly are all good fish for beginners because of their easy care requirements which make them hardy fish with a minimum amount of input on the owner’s part. The Betta has an aggressive nature that isn’t suitable to many types of community tanks but is perfect if you’re looking to keep a male-female pair or a male-male pair. The Neon Tetra, much like the Black Molly, is small and will add a nice splash of color to your tank without taking up too much space. The Black Molly is inexpensive and one of the hardiest fish out there which makes it a great choice for beginners who don’t have a lot of money to spend on costly fish.
