Which fish is right for me?

Not sure where to start? Tell us three things about your tank and we'll match you to beginner-friendly fish that actually fit it — each with a fact-checked care guide. Start from the fish, not the bowl.

Heated or unheated?
Your tap water

Not sure about hardness? Test it, or ask your water company — or leave it on "not sure". See pH, GH & KH explained.

A starting point, not the last word. Matches come from ourfact-checked care guides and only include species we've sourced so far — more as we add them. Always read the full guide, check group sizes, and use thestocking calculator andcompatibility checker before you buy.
