Rasboras

Rasbora species vary slightly in size, but most reach a maximum size of around 4cm and can live up to 6 or 7 years. Rasboras are hardy and tolerant fish that should pose no major hurdles to your entry to the aquarist hobby.

Corydoras

Another peaceful fish that will live harmoniously with most other fish is the Corydoras. With over 140 species to choose from, the Cory fish is the perfect addition to a beginner’s fish tank

African Cichlids

African peacock cichlids have become one of the most beloved fish in the aquarium hobby with aquarists often dedicated entire large-scale fish rooms to keep all the different colours and strains available.

Plecos

They're a great fish to have in most freshwater aquariums. Inclined to mind their own business and graze on algae, completely non-aggressive. (Every tank should have one.) In fact, they are the perfect algae eaters.
