For those who want to start this hobbie, the types of freshwater fish are the most recommended.
Aquarium maintenance is simpler compared to a marine aquarium, and fish are also easier to care for and maintain.
Goldfish or Goldfish
They are the most famous among the various freshwater species. This fish can live very well with another and, in addition, they do very well at room temperature, between 18ºC and 22ºC.
These fish eat a lot and, consequently, tend to defecate frequently, so it is important to test the parameters with the Water Test Strips, and proceed, if necessary, with the correct maintenance of the aquarium.
Guppies
They have a huge variety of colors and patterns, are resistant and reproduce very easily.
For people starting the activity now we recommend the Guppies. They live at 17-28ºC, and are compatible with Plati, Swordfish, Corydoras and Oto.
Avoid cichlids, as they are aggressive and fast and have a voracious appetite for smaller fish.
Tetra
Tetra are one of the most recommended if you want to have more than one fish in your aquarium. Resistant and showy, they live at 23-29ºC and in community.
Betta
The most colorful species, with very elegant tails and fins. We advise you to have this species, but be careful to mix it with other species.
Betta males do not usually get along well when raised with other males, as Betta females can get along very well with other fish, so find out from your shopkeeper the sex of this species if you want to pair with more fish.
