Just depends on what kind of tank we are talking about. I am going to assume you have a Freshwater tank. Have you already cycled the tank? If not – I would recommend doing a fishless cycle. Here is a link for you on that…

Once you have a cycled tank you need to decide if what you would like to go with are either live or plastic plants. Rocks and Drift Wood are also nice decorative pieces for a beautiful looking tank.

A lot of people have answered “Goldfish” as a very easy to keep fish, but keep in mind that Goldfish are very dirty, and can carry a lot of disease (not the least of which is Ich – another topic for another time).

So many variables here – what size is the tank? Is it Freshwater or Marine? Do you want plants? What exactly are you looking to do with it maintenance-wise? In other words – how much time are you wanting to honestly invest into this project?

One male betta or a female betta sorority tank No goldfish, goldfish need there water to be changed alot since they are messy eaters and each goldfish can get up to over a foot averaging atleast 7-8 inches if given the right amount of room. So for one goldfish a 10 gallon is recommended and for 3 goldfish about 50 gallons, for them to grow properly and be healthy. Also algae eaters get pretty big too, so a small tank will stunt there growth and eventaully kill them.

Platies r very colorful, cheap, easy to maintain, and can stand many diferent water types.

Gold Fish are the easiest to care for/ the adapt to the size of the tank and the amount of fish you put into that tank/ i dont know for sure if this is true but i heard that goldfish can be dangerous for other types of fish/ they give off some kind of hormone that can be toxic to other species/ so if i was gonna get fish i would stick with just goldfish
