Fish everybody should keep atleast once in their lifetime?
- Thread starter white specter crayfish
- Start date
I say a Pleco. And NOT a common Pleco. There is something out there for everyone! So many sizes, colors, shapes, fin lengths. Everyone getting into the hobby usually has one (for the wrong reasons) but I think everyone can enjoy a Pleco. Simple to keep and some can even spawn in the aquarium =)
Honestly. I would say killifish.
The process of watching my F gardneri eggs develop and hatch was so cool! I even watched one hatch under a microscope. There are loads of species and the colours are hard to beat!
Bad photo, these guys are too quick. They never stop!

I would definitely say American Cichlids as a fish that everyone should try, so many colours and sizes they’re just amazing fish
I don't do Western world cichlids any more, but that is what got me hooked on tropical fish when in high school. Convicts and Jack Dempseys and Severums spawning and caring for their fry.
My first thought was Jack Dempsey but after thinking on it it would have to be an Oscar. In my more than fifty years of keeping fish I have had just about everything at one time or another. Oscars were one of the first fish I ever kept and because of that experience I gained a love for keeping aquariums that has stayed with me my entire life. Adults can be a little demanding due to the amount of waste they create but they are worth the effort.
