Question

What are some NON-TROPICAL Freshwater fish for my fishtank, other then goldfish.

Answer 1

I think you want to set up a tank that will not require a heater.

Fish for your tank:

Swordtails, Platys, Mollies, Guppies, Mosquito Fish, and if you like Snails and Crawdads.

Answer 2

White Cloud Minnows.

They can live in water down to 5C, they only grow to a bit over an inch long, and can be bred in a weed filled bucket.

Not that I'm saying you should mistreat them, but if you got a 20gal tank, filter, a handfull of java moss and a dozen WCM. Just feed the fish and and look after the tank and you will never have to buy another fish for that tank.

Answer 4

guppies...yeahh.

Answer 5

"Swordtails, Platys, Mollies, Guppies, Mosquito Fish, and if you like Snails and Crawdads."

These are all tropical fish and require a water temperature of around 78-80 degrees.

Koi and goldfish and perhaps pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) can thrive in colder water (room temperature of 75 degrees or so), but plecos are more lively in warmer waters since they are also tropical.

I do not suggest keeping koi in a fish tank because they can grow to be 2-3 feet with proper care! Most goldfish can also grow to be around 12+ inches.

Good luck in your search!

Also, I know that most Petco and Petsmart stores sell community freshwater fish. So you may just want to take a trip to the pet store and check them out.
