Top 10 BEST Fish For LAZY Fish Keepers!!

I'm so busy with work and school so I need a low maintenance pet since the passing of my pup(14) in 2020. This helped so much thank you!

Not lazy but I’m a nurse with chronic illness myself

I have a question that is driving me crazy..
I have 3 different kinds of tetra , molly and albino cory.. but every time i try to add a few goppies they don't make it... water is check on a regular basis..

Lazy? How bout busy?

We’ve had beginner fish for forty years . They are so beautiful. I’d love to try corals one day, but for now our plecco and guppies are just perfect.

Its not about being lazy with Netflix. People have to spend time at fulltime jobs and also spend time with their family. The time they get for themselves and their hobbies is very limited. So for most adult fish keepers, the easier the fish, the better.

I have a tank, bought 4 black mollies ... in 48 hours 2 of them died out of nowhere. The other 2 are doing great. My 3bgoldfish and albino Cordy cat fish are also fine they've been in this tank for a while now. I've been doing water changes weekly and keeping an eye on ammonia levels. Also, have an air bubbler for adequate oxygen in the tank. Water heater has temp at around 76 degrees

The thumbnail is hilarious! 😂

Would you please edcute us on black ghost knives, i do love them.

Just rescued dying plants and trying to figure out what I'm doing next. Using your videos as a podcast lol

Love your videos! Very Informative! Thanks for what you do for the hobby

So ... As far as goldfish go... Would a 5 gallon tank be large enough if you only have 2 goldfish?

I have heard that with goldfish you should double the filter size for the tank...like if you have a 10 gallon tank get a filter for a 20 gallon tank, supposedly it helps keep the water cleaner between cleanings. Is this true??

Oscars will always be my favourite fish for all the reasons they are amazing “little” water babies ❤

Angelfish r on here yet my luck with em sucks 😅

Lol. My lazy fishkeeping tip: get the biggest tank you can afford and throw a small bioload in. Don't overfeed and ya won't have to do a whole lot. Especially with live plants. Lol.

Love it al bundy

I love my saltwater converted black Molly

Lazy a.k.a. New to the hobby? Because if you have succes with a tank it brings joy to take care of your pets. Like play it on easy mode, and it’s still challenging enough but won’t demotivate!

GET A GRAVEL VACCUM THAT HOOKS UP TO YOUR SINK, it makes it really fast if you dont have a lot of time

Love KGT's content, and don't get the hate.

Khulis are a waste of time IMO and you'll never see them.

Mollies are awesome, they can live in extremes from marine to toilet water - though most marine fish can and do pick on Mollies as if "what the hell you doing in here". Ditto for guppies though I hate them.

Snails, crabs and shrimps are great clean up crew but can get eaten.

Hardiest fish I've found are leopard bush fish (aka climbing perch) and kissing gouramis - like mollies, they can live pretty much in the toilet (joking). I've inadvertently not changed water for many weeks, and they're as lazy as me.


More Lisa please - I bet she has a fan club somewhere :)

some snails will eat the heck outta your aquarium vegetation.

If you wanna keep the population in check or eliminate them, get an assasin snail.

LOL, Oscars don't belong on a LAZY list! I had four large ones in a tank & was CONSTANTLY having to clean the tank. Not for the lazy fish keeper! LOL Very pretty fish with great personalities though!

Is that a snakehead behind you?

I am not lazy but very lazy 🤣 Many 'tanks' for this list.

I actually like taking care of my tank I don't think lazy people should have any fish haha that's just me but I have my Betta in a 22L tank and I have a filter heater and plenty of plants and one cave
You're supposed to be saving your Bettas from the cup put them in at least 3gal

I have Oscar 1 Dempsey 8in albino pleco in a seventy-five 50% water change once a week hang on the back filter matter fact two filters you recommended because I can attach my heater to it and I also have a canister filter he's like a puppy dog

My betta is in a 50 breeder with 5 gril friends heavy 🌿

Clean water a clean place for them to attach their eggs and bloodworms in they'll breed every time

Oscars are more beautiful than Angels! Oscars are the best Angels are second!

Love your channel. Subscribed.👍

Surplus fry go into the angel tank and they'll take them to heaven... Doing God's work n looking good!

I love your intro music its so nice and peaceful haha.

I have had Oscar's twice and both times they died within weeks of getting them. I am glad that other people have had success with them.

Hey can you do a video like this for plants?

I love my angels! I have 4 in my 55 gallon tank and they are so much fun. They will follow you around the tank and sometimes I will go from one side to the other just to see them swim toward me. I think we have females as they never lay eggs. We did once take in a male from my father in law, because he was bullied. He got it on right away with one of them. Only to have the eggs eaten... Mother nature is mean like that. He had a wound that only got worse, so he didn't make it. But I still miss him. OH! One easy as heck fish is the Colombian tetra. These bad bois will survive the apocalypse.

When it comes to goldfish I have found the fancier the goldfish is the harder and "less lazy" you can be with it. Fancy goldfish are not an easy fish in my opinion. They have very sensitive swim bladders, they can get egg bound easily and if the water gets too cold they will sit on the bottom of the aquarium because they have sensitive digestive systems that slow down in cooler water. So aquarist that say they are cold water fish is not necessary true.

Thank YOu MR CLEAN!!!

Goldfish, I’m talking about the fancies you’re showing, are HARD to keep because they can’t have decorations (they’ll get stuck and hurt themselves) and they’re prone to disease

Just put the aquarium (<=3feet) with siphon near to the water hose &along the water dumping area so we could change the water (75%-80%) always..it's an enjoyable & fun to do a water change eventough frequently.
(Dont forget..it's Needs anti chlorine everytime changing water)

Look, the less effort I need to put into my tank, the more extra I can give it. That's why I like the three S's: sumps, snails and shrimp.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. What's that swimming around behind you on camera left?

What is that zebra looking like Arowana fish in the background of your big tank? Is it a fish or a reptile like an Axolotl?

Convicts have that name because a long time ago prisioner clothing used to have black and white stripes so a convict wore a striped outfit.

Definitely great video. Not necessarily lazy, just very busy. And I love my fish. Wish I had more time for them. But we have a great relationship. 20 gallon with kuhli tetras, and a female betta.

No but you can definitely tell what a goldfish is sad though like in that video most of those goldfishes are fins are down they're pretty sad a treatment like a God

What about the Bichir fish behind you!?

Having kept convicts before I can 100% confirm that they will breed if you have at least one male and one female. And unlike Oscars, which I also love, convicts don't get huge. I think around 5 inches or so is what I remember reading. Convicts are very active and fun fish to watch but they are jerks for sure. And they are some of the most hearty fish i've ever kept.

Ironically, I've never been successful in keeping these fishes (like goldfish and molly) even though i take a lot of care......

My grandmother kept a tank of goldfish. One year she got sick with a blood infection and was hospitalized for over a month, a lot of that unconscious. Eventually someone remembered she had fish and I went to go check on them. The tank was green, I thought maybe they all died and turned to goo. Nope, every surface had 3 inches of algea on it and all the fish were alive and well. I think they must have been eating the algea or something to survive. Those fish lived another 15 years!
