What is the easiest type of fish to keep at home? I would like to start with a simple pet for our 5-year-old.
Betas make good first-time fish. They should always be housed alone. They can eat pellets made specifically for them. You can also decorate their habitats with rocks and plants for enjoyment! Fish stores can also give you great beta fish kits with all the equipment you need to care for them.

Do Fish Recongnize People?
by Jacob P. November 26th, 2009 | Fish
Every morning, when my mom comes downstairs and feeds her Beta fish (Bellini), Bellini gets very excited. And not just because of food. If my mom talks to her, the fish wriggles and swims excitedly. Also, the fish looks at her! She seems to recognize my mom's voice. So, this has made me wonder: Do fish recognize people?
Personally, I think she recognizes my mom because my mom brings her food. The fish only recognizes her, as mom is the primary feeder, suggesting the Pavlovian theory. The Pavlovian theory is that animals react to the feeder, not the food.
