Jhendka P. - 7 years ago

PumpkinTheHamster any fish could be a fine starter, as long as the person is somewhat smart, does plenty of research from reputable sources, and acquires the appropriate equipment to monitor and care for the fish. its not rocket science.

I kept my beta in my 100 gallon tank and he was the happiest beta I have ever seen. He was also one of the oldest he was a few years when I got him and I had him nine years.

SpiritBear12 - 8 years ago

+ReviewCam
Guppies have live birth? Wow, I thought they laid eggs tucked away somewhere.

ReviewCam - 8 years ago

Perfectly fine, but just remember guppies are called the million fish because they breed like crazy and give birth to a lot of fish, and they are born not as eggs but fish:)

Race2461 Gaming - 8 years ago

I have a ten gal community freshwater tank one neon tetra he is ok two guppies two glofish

SpiritBear12 - 8 years ago

Congratulations! I don't suggest smoking that many cigars though, it could kill you. ;-)

How many babies did they have? One can always use a spare tank.

How can you keep so many beta fishes together??? I put 3 beta fishes in my tank and they try to kill each other in like 10s!!! o.O

sweetenedsour420 - 9 years ago

Only female betas to make together and you have to have more than five. You can tell it is female by a small white dot on its belly. Males don't have that

Gold fish are some sturdy little bastards!!! I once won a little feeder gold fish from the local county fair. My folks told me it would probably live only a few days... Little guy lived for almost 3 YEARS!!!!

Richi O - 7 years ago

That's not long for a goldfish but gj

MELODY MUNRO - 8 years ago

+Jack smith Imagine how they would feel in a larger tank or pond then...given they have rewarded you for 11 years..why not spoil them and give them a bit more space? not saying you have not cared for your fish - obviously you have.. but a 45 gallon is pretty small...I have mine in a 110 gallon and they are over 11 inches...they will soon be going into a pond I am building for them which will be 400+ gallon...

Jack smith - 8 years ago

I have 2 common goldfish in a 45 gallon. both are around 8 inches long and they are 11 years old! and i only do a water change every 3/4 weeks.

Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago

You know why people think they can ONLY live for a few days? It is because they keep them in bowls and the ammonia that comes from the fish burns it and it dies early. It is also because there are not enough oxygen to keep it alive :( u need a filter and a airstone. I just learnt this info a few weeks ago and I feel angry at myself for believing it was ok.

Marshall Eriksen - 9 years ago

+Zaq G Try 30. If properly cared for and given enough space, they can live up to or over 30 years

Vegard Tinnesen - 9 years ago

+Christian Montgomery i once hacked a goldfish out from the ice in our pond and put the ice lump with the fish in it in our winter holding tank and it started to swim as soon it melted out x) and this was late winter, it had been there some months in a 100% frozen 40 in deep pond. it blew my mind right out of the water so to speak :)

Bob H - 9 years ago

All boring fish IMO, I would go for something interesting like Kribensis where you will see a pair breed and raise their family and they won't destroy your aquarium décor. You can also have ,say, a decent school of Neons or better still Cardinals to add interest. I'm more for a natural type aquarium anyway so lots of real plants etc and not so many different sorts of fish.

Brianna Harter - 9 years ago

some breeds mimic are breed to actually mimic larger natural fish that might other wise be to large to fit.some are more natural looking then others.also technically any captive any fish in captive breed fish has been modified by humans breeding the better looking ones.

Bob H - 9 years ago

+Brianna Harter Guppys? I used to breed them to feed to my large pair of Angel fish, most are man made varieties and of no interest to me. The true species might be interesting. As I said I prefer a very well planted tank (you need special lights) and a more natural fish population etc, a beautiful natural picture in other words. Not easy to achieve but so worth the effort.

Brianna Harter - 9 years ago

I'd say skip the neons and cardinals and go for skirt way stronger and a lot more elegant.also while guppies are common it can be fun looking for the high breeds which are not the average guppy with everything from vivid purple and amazing cobras to simple full white.

Leslie Nelson - 9 years ago

I took over a 55 gallon tank from a friend because,1 - the tank kept overflowing and 2- her fish kept dying. She only had one fish left from her original group. The sponge filter was hanging wrong on the back of her tank so every time the sponge was dirty and plugged, the water went around it and out the corner onto the floor below. 2. The only fish left was a gold gourami. The meanest fish I ever owned. I finally put him in with the oscar 6 times his size and they got along great.

Laurie Ford - 9 years ago

How the heck are you keeping multiple betta's together? I was always told that betta's MUST be separated from each other or they will fight.

MELODY MUNRO - 9 years ago

+Laurie Ford I have found including dither fish like tetras seems to help as well when keeping a betta sorority..

The Goldfish Nerd - 9 years ago

+Laurie Ford Females also have to be kept in groups of 6+ in a large tank 10+ gallons or they will kill each other :)

kooshal Spiiky - 9 years ago

male have more long and beautiful fins. female are a bit smaller, short fins and are more calm

Laurie Ford - 9 years ago

oooo, cool i did not know that, how can you tell a male betta from a female one?

kooshal Spiiky - 9 years ago

its female betta fish. females can live with many other females.. separate tank apply only to male betta..
and as u can see the bettas in this video are fine with no torn fins so I guess they are fine

Gorgeous Nell - 9 years ago

Hey guys i had a question is it considered captivity having fish in fish tanks ? Should fish really be in tanks ? Please answer thanks !

Gorgeous Nell - 9 years ago

+star and fox thank you ! Awesome info

star and fox - 9 years ago

any animal in a humans care is in captivity but as far as them being in tanks that's debatable.if it's a good sized tank then it should be fine.also some fish are only found/can only survive in human care like the goldfish or the many brightly colored guppies which can't be found in the wild.also white cloud fish are extinct in the wild do to there habitats being destroyed but if their habitats get rebuilt then since they are so wildly bred and disturbed across the hobby then we could reintroduce them.

but the down sides are the wild caught fish for the hobby are often getting over harvested even when we have a really good captive bred fish of them.also if we can't breed the fish in our care then maybe it's not a good idea to keep that fish.also if their kept in a very poor environment like so many new people to the hobby do or the ones who want to get little jimmy a first easy,cheap pet then no.

pontywaun - 10 years ago

Goldfish shouldn't be kept in tanks unless they have plenty of room, all the goldfish I have had have been in my pond and the oldest is about 4 years old.

pontywaun - 9 years ago

Yes, i did that when i was younger. But you need to do your research before buying a goldfish, certain types grow big.
