4. Mollies

Like the guppy, the molly fish comes in different colors and patterns. Some of the most common variants for beginner fish keepers include the Short-Fin, the Sailfin, and the Lyretail.

5. Tetras

Tetras are some of the easiest fish to care for beginners. They’re trendy in the beginner fishkeeping community due to their small size and bright colors.
