I'm going to have another go at my tank. I only had a basic setup (gravel was my filter with the pump trying to suck from under it lol) soo...not much of a filtration system. Going to be fresh water, I want it to be as maintenance free as possible. What do I need to get to accomplish this?

undecided on warm or cold water fish, pretty sure it doesn't matter yet. Let me know if you need dimensions.. I'm not sure how many gallons it is :hs:

 

Little maintenance? Gold fish

 

10 gallon max...thats what i have. i have an algae eater and 5 guppies. i dont even feed them and they are still living.

 

:rofl:

 

You need to figure out what kind of fish you want, then do your homework on how to take care of them.

If you want low maintenance, get a small goldfish bowl with a couple goldfish. It sounds to me that you are going to want more from a hobby than you are willing to personally invest. If you want a nice setup, it's not going to happen with a low commitment level. If that's the case, I seriously recommend a different hobby.

 

get a whale

 

gold fishes are not low maintenance because all they do is crap all over....nasty !!!

If you want a true low maintenance fish....get a beta LOL, but other than that you will need to do some work.

 

or for higher entertainment value, get 2 betas

 

I havent cleaned my desktop tank for my goldfish since Dec. Guy is still living

 

they eat their own crap ..... FYI .... so yes, they are truly nasty
