Top 10 types of Aquarium Fish 4K
00:21 Pearl Gourami
Starting this list off, the pearl gourami is handsome thanks to its unique color and pattern. They are simple to care for regardless of your experience level and only grow to around 4 to 5 inches. What’s more, they can live for around 5 years in a well-maintained freshwater setup.
Social, curious, and peaceful to many of the other species on this list, pearl gouramis prefer fairly warm and acidic water. However, thanks to how hardy and adaptable they are, these spotted, peach-toned little fishes can forgive a beginner’s mistake here and there.
00:51 Silver Angelfish
The silver angelfish is one of the more visually stunning fish on this list. It’s sure to be a centerpiece of your aquarium if you choose to give one a loving home.
With its attractive silver body color, thin black striping, and long, thin, tendril-like fins, this fish is an excellent choice for beginner aquarium keepers and experts alike. It grows to a fairly modest 6 inches in length. Silver angelfish can live for an impressive 10 years in captivity, provided you meet their care requirements.
03:02 Neon Tetra
While there are many species of tetra that would be ideal for this list, the neon tetra is one of the most unique-looking. It’s also a fairly inexpensive and accessible species commonly sold by breeders and at pet shops all over the world.
The neon tetra is a small type of aquarium fish that only grows to around 1.5 to 2 inches long. Despite its diminutive size, its bright blue, orange, and silver coloring makes it easy to spot even from a distance.
05:45 Zebrafish
The zebrafish, also known as the zebra danio or striped danio, is a small yet visually appealing type of aquarium fish thanks to its shimmering silver body color and thin, uniform black stripes. They only grow to around 2 inches long, but they will easily stand out amongst the other fish in your freshwater aquarium.
They enjoy living amongst other zebrafish and other small, peaceful species like tetras, gouramis, corydoras, and more. They’re very inexpensive at only around $2 to $4 per fish, and their care needs are also easy to maintain long-term. Zebra danios live for around 5 to 6 years in an optimal setup. They should be kept in a tank with room temperature water and a pH level of 7.0 to 7.8.
07:48 Common Goldfish
The common goldfish may seem like an odd choice for this list at first, but they can actually live for up to 20 years if you put some effort into meeting their needs. Fortunately, their care requirements are very simple. These fish prefer slightly warm water with a pH level of anywhere from 7.0 to 8.4. Goldfish start off small at around 2 to 4 inches, but they can reach sizes of 10 inches or more.
09:03 Goldeneye Cichlid
there are perhaps dozens of great, easy to care for cichlid species ideal for all types of freshwater aquariums, but the goldeneye cichlid is definitely one of the more visually appealing. Its silvery and yellow color and golden-yellow eyes make it stand out despite its small size of 2 to 3 inches.
These peaceful little fish enjoy living in groups, both amongst their own species and alongside other small, non-territorial species. They prefer warm water of around 72 to 75F with a pH level of around 6 to 7.5.
10:07 Black Skirt Tetra
These small fish aren’t the most vibrant in color. However, their wide eyes, handsome black stripes, and black skirt-like fins make them a lovely addition to any freshwater tank. They fare especially well in medium-sized community tanks made up of other small and peaceful fish. Compatible species include gouramis, danios, and various other tetras (including the neon tetra mentioned earlier). Black skirt tetras also generally prefer existing around at least 5 to 10 other members of their species, as they are schooling fish.
11:56 Rainbow Platy
The rainbow platy is small in size at only 2 to 3 inches, but its beautiful orange, red, blue, silver, and green coloration makes it stand out with ease. If its minimal care requirements are met, it can easily thrive in captivity for up to 4 years.
In general, these colorful fish prefer living in aquariums at least 10 to 20 gallons in size. They fare best in warm water with a pH level of around 6.8 to 8.5.
12:41 Albino Corydoras
Like most other species on this list, the albino corydoras is hardy and easy to care for. They can easily thrive in tanks as small as 10 to 15 gallons and especially enjoy living alongside other members of their species.
