good newbie fish

i think a convict pair would be good to start out with. it's a good way to get hooked anyway.

Convicts really need a 20-29 gallon, 10 is a bit too small for a pair.

I recommend a shrimp tank, but he probably wants to actually have "fish" in his first fish tank, so any in that link posted back on page one.

tell him about the nitrogen cycle first and ask him if he wants to do a fishless cycle, if he doesn't give a s**** just tell him to get a betta, zebra danios, white cloud mountain minnows, 1 goldfish, or a couple of rosy red minnows.

a goldfish would outgrow a 10 swift and i will mae sure he he cycles the tank first dont worry
