7 Easy-to-Maintain Fish Breeds Perfect for Home Aquariums

Do you really wish to have an aquarium at home, but don't know which fish breed to pick? We got you. Most of the people living in closed spaces often love to have an aquarium at their home, but at times doubt where to start from. Here is a list of 7 fish breeds that are easy to maintain in a home aquarium.

Goldfish

The most obvious choice. Goldfish are widely chosen by people for their hardiness and long lifespan. They don't need a heater and don't need a spacious tank, which makes them one of the best picks for home aquariums.

Betta Fish, or the Siamese Fighting Fish

Their vibrant color and flowing fins make them one of the most preferred fish breeds. They can comfortably live in smaller tanks and can breathe the surface air. However, please note that Bettas should be kept alone in a particular tank to prevent aggression.

Guppies

Small, colorful, and highly adaptable. Since they can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, they are one of the easiest fish breeds to maintain. But please keep a check on their rapid breeding.

Zebra Danios

They are the energetic fish who thrive in groups. Their resilience to temperature changes and water fluctuations makes them one of the easiest fish breeds to maintain. Notably, they are compatible with many other peaceful species, too.

Platies

The hardy ones who can adjust to different tank conditions. They are social fish that are available in various colors.

Corydoras Catfish

Bottom-dwelling fish that feed on leftover food, which helps in keeping the tank clean. Since they are the calmest ones in the breed, they are the best companions in a community aquarium.

Molly Fish

An adaptable fish that can live in both fresh water and slightly brackish conditions. They are easy to feed and are suitable for community tanks.
