I'm a fan of guppies and neon tetras

I have found guppies, platys, and mollies to be really easy. They do reproduce pretty easily though lol. Goldfish are fairly easy but they are dirty and need bigger tanks.

So, in my experience, snails will take care of their own overpopulation. And if they don't, then assassin's will take care of them and then go dormant until they're needed again.

@Old gods, any specific species?

A lot of the tropical freshwater fish are good

Versa - yep! I've used them to get rid of an infestation that came in on some live plants. I think they're pretty too

What beginner fish do you guys recommend other than bettas?

Depends on the plants I suppose. I just upgraded a 55 aquarium to a 135, and transferred an anubias that has been thriving for almost 5 years. Another tank has been heavily planted for over four and I will occassionally buy more plants to add, but only because I have an addiction, not becasue the plants are dying.

Prag,
I've never owned snails nor studied them so please excuse the silly question lol. Assassin snails just, "assassinate" other snails, correct? Safe for fishies?

snails, shrimp, and detritus worms are the tank cleanup crew

Pragma

Versa - two words, assassin snails lol

Versailles

Oh they're helpful? But the population, my childhood tank (that my parents owned) had them completely out of control, according to them. How does one work with that? I'm less against them if they're good

Versailles

Charm,
Hmmm... I mean, I understand they're so beneficial. I guess my question comes down to, snail control. My heart is a little too soft to squish them. I'd seriously rather manually keep the water in check every night than squish them lol

I remember I had this awesome little 5 gallon tank, it's a ton of work, but live plants/snails are awesome

A fish tank would be more practical and cheaper than a snake right now. Plus I want to move out and a snake would make that hard.

Snails are good! I used to hate them, but I love them now lol

Pragma

They take some maintenance like any pet, but a larger tank with a betta and a few plants has always been pretty low difficulty in my experience as far as pets go.

Revel, the worst part is keeping water parameters in check. Feeding the fish itself, is very simple. Everything sounds basic. But the water parameters getting off can be troubling, sometimes

@Charm, don't you have to replant it every 1-2 years though?
