by Na De Freelance Man

If you’re a beginner maintains an small aquarium, there are some fishes you can choose from.

Mollies are a good choice because they are small and easy to care for. While black mollies grow to about two inches, you can also mix and match other colors to create a visually appealing display. A great thing about mollies is that they stay small even after they start growing. This makes them ideal for a 5 gallon fish tank.

Another great fish for a small tank is the Danio rerio, also called Zebrafish. Danio is very easy to care for and are very adaptable to different conditions. They like flake food and algae and they like to move in groups. If you have a smaller aquarium, you can add danio to your tank to make it more interesting. While they are not very active, they are a great choice for those who want to keep their aquarium as simple as possible.

A colorful fish for small tanks is the pygmy gourami(sparkling gourami). Pygmy gourami can grow up to 1.5 inches. This species is very sensitive to light and noise, so make sure not to use the aquarium as a party location. Its long fins are incredibly striking and can even fend off rival bettas, makes it one of the best choices for small tanks.
