10 Best Aquarium Fish for Beginners If you’re getting into freshwater aquariums for the first time, it can be intimidating to know which fish to pick. Ideally, you want something hardy, budget-friendly, and colorful with an interesting personality. Check out our list of top 10 beginner fish (in no particular order) that are easy to care for and would make a great addition to your aquarium! 1.    Rasboras There are many types of rasboras, but our favorite ones are the harlequin rasbora (Trigonostigma heteromorpha) and lambchop rasbora (Trigonostigma espei). Known for their bright orange color and distinctive black triangular patch, these peaceful nano fish only grow to about two inches long and are readily available in most pet stores.

How to Raise Mosquito Larvae for Fish Food Some fish need to be fed live food, which is often more expensive than flakes or pellets. If you hope to breed your fish, you may have to feed them live food during their mating cycle. Regardless of the reason, you choose to feed your fish live food, raising your own could be more convenient and cost-effective than purchasing it from pet stores. Raising mosquito larvae is extremely simple and can provide nutritious food for your fish free of charge! All it takes is a container to hold water, a little patience, and a watchful eye.
