17. Angelfish

Angelfish are a member of the Cichlid family, which also includes Discus, Oscars and Parrot fish, all common fish amongst aquarium keepers.
They can grow up to 6 inches in length, 205mm tall, and come in a variety of colours and patterns.
They are omnivorous, so will need a balanced diet of meat and plant food.
Their tank should be at least 100 litres, and the water should be slightly soft and acidic.
As they mature, they can become aggressive, especially if your tank in overcrowded. In general though, they are a good community fish, just don’t keep them with very small fish or fin-nipping species.

16. Goldfish

When most people think of Goldfish, they think of small fish bowls with a fish that was won at the fair. This is not the correct way to house goldfish.
Few people know that they can actually grow up to 355mm in the wild.
The minimum tank size for a goldfish is100 litres, you’ll also need a filter and to perform 10-15% weekly water changes.
There are many different varieties of goldfish, and its fine to mix them as long as they aren’t breeds that would compete with each other for food. For example, keep single tailed varieties together and normal eyed goldfish together.

15. Corydoras Catfish

Also known as Cory Cats, these fish are a staple in most freshwater tanks. They’re easy to care for, calm and peaceful yet active bottom dwellers.
They are very social, and whilst you can keep them individually, they thrive if kept in a group of two or more.
They get on well with most community tank fish as long as they are not aggressive.
Corydoras grow up to 65mm in length, and are excellent tank cleaners. They’ll pick up left over foods from the gravel but also require other foods such as flakes and bottom feeder tablets.

14. Rainbowfish

Boeseman’s Rainbowfish
Rainbowfish originate from Australia and Southeast Asia. They are a peaceful schooling fish that can grow up to 155mm long.
This is perhaps one of the least common fish that we are featuring here, perhaps because its colours only begin to show as they enter adulthood…
However, if given the right care, in just a couple of years they can display stunning and vibrant colours.
Rainbowfish get along well with other upper level schooling fish such as danios, bards and larger tetras.

13. Plecostomus

Sailfin Pleco
Plecs are a breed of catfish, they have heavy armored plates on their bodies, and sucker-shaped mouths to feed on the algae in your tank.
Whilst some species are happy eating algae, wafers and flakes, others will need meaty food such as frozen brine shrimp.
Breeding Plecs is extremely difficult and only a small number of aquarists have managed to breed them.
Plecos can live for 20 years, sometimes longer if cared for correctly. It’s also worth knowing that they can jump too – so keep a lid on your tank.
They can be housed with many different species, but avoid keeping them with fat/flat bodied fish such as goldfish as they may suck on them.

12. Bettas

Another extremely popular freshwater fish is the Betta. It’s not surprising why; Bettas are vibrantly coloured, and easy to care for.
Male Bettas are notoriously aggressive towards other males. Therefore only one male Betta should be kept in each aquarium. They can be housed with other peaceful fish.
Bettas require an omnivorous diet, of both plant and animal foods.
They grow to a maximum size of 80mm. Although you often see Bettas in small ornamental tanks, they should be housed in larger tanks.
Did you know: Bettas are able to breathe air outside of the water due to their labyrinth.

11. Killifish

The Blue Lyretail Killifish
Killifish come in a wide variety of bright colors. They are extremely hardy fish, and there are over 700 species – a breed to suit almost every tank condition.
They are generally peaceful fish and do well in community tanks with other small, non-aggressive fish. It’s best to keep just one male to each tank though, because they can be aggressive towards each other.
Killifish are very easy to breed, and are either annual or non-annual breeders. In the wild, annual killifish lay their eggs in temporary bodies of water which dry up for months at a time. When they refill, the fry hatch.
Most Killifish are carnivores and therefore enjoy a diet of insect larvae, worms and crustaceans.

10. Discus

These beautiful and graceful fish can grow to be quite large, and therefore require a larger tank, a minimum size of 100 litres
Discus are not recommended for beginners, and instead should only be kept by experienced aquarists.
They can be housed with other fish that require the same water conditions, as long as they are not aggressive.
Discus will take a variety of foods but are carnivorous in nature. The best diet for them consists of beef heart and blood worms supplemented with flakes to provide vitamins and minerals.

9. Swordtails

The swordtail is similar in shape to platy and guppy fish, with a slightly bulkier body, and a sword shaped extension of its fin.
There are many different colour variations available and they are quite hardy which makes them a perfect species for the beginner aquarist.
Swordtails are usually peaceful, yet lively. They thrive in community tanks, and like to swim in loosely grouped schools.
They breed easily, and if you do decide to breed them, you should keep them away from their parents; Swordtail parents will often eat their fry.
