what are good fish too get

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Actually there are some freshwater fish that are "sharks" that are pretty easy to keep. A red tail shark would be good to look into. Best of luck

Hey Mikie, where are you from? Maybe a local member would be nice enough to meet you at a local fish store to show you some of the fish that can get along, and the proper equipment you'll need. If you are near Cleveland I would totally help you out.
 
mikie1011 mikie1011 maybe sit down with your parents and look at what is required to run and maintain a Saltwater tank VS running a Freshwater system, coz if you have 0 to very little experience keeping fish, a freshwater setup might be a little more forgiving and easier to start with (cheaper too)...

And as butchie butchie pointed out, there are fresh water fish that have shark like appearances that dont require 300G+ systems...

So It really all comes down to size of tank / time you or your parents have to put in to maintaining the tank / and how much you want to spend...

Either way, good luck and and hope you find all the info you need...
 
If you are new to fish keeping have you thought about starting of with a community tank tropical fish,, less money to set up and ideal for beginners
