Fish for an Idiot

[Fishfiles1]

If you don't want to worry about heat, consider temperate-zone fishes like shiners, madtoms, topminnows, or sunfish; they all do fine at room temp. Most of these are pretty tough with regards to water quality, too. Darters, dace, and some shiners are a bit more finicky.

ya there called blue gills, and you literly can kill them with bad water conditons, my friend tryed to his water was somthing like this
amo: 10ppm
Nitrate:20

Gh:20

Yeah, that would kill most anything. That's when it's time for plastic fish.

So which fish are the easiest to keep alive?
What fish don't care too much about water parameters?
What fish are super hardy so that when you forget to turn your heater back on they don't die?
Which fish are the best for the lazy fish keeper?

No fish are for lazy fish keepers. If your lazy forget about fish. You'll just kill them.

Maybe try pet rocks.
