If you love having a fish tank in your home or office, then you want to make sure you have a beautiful display of colorful or exotic fish to enjoy. Tropical fish often come in a variety of vibrant hues that are dazzling to watch as fish swim and scurry around their spacious tank. Some fish in general need extra care to survive so you want to have healthy, easy-care varieties in your tank. Here are some tropical fish breeds that don't require any additional extra care so you can enjoy them more worry-free.

Neon tetras

These tiny fish are fun because no two are exactly alike. With a bold neon stripe down their backs, these little swimmers can be yellow, pink, blue, green, or even red in appearance. Have a black light nearby if you buy a small school of these fish to make your tank stand out in a cool new way and really illuminate these fancy creatures. You should buy enough of these fish to where they can group up as they are a schooling fish. They are non-aggressive and don't interfere with other fish in the tank.

Cory catfish

This exotic freshwater fish is black with gold throughout, and offers an ancient addition to your tank. This small fish may not be super vibrant in exotic hues but carries a look that demands attention in the tank due to its slightly prehistoric design. A mellow fish, you can add a few of these little guys to any tank without issue. As an added bonus, these fish will keep your tank clean by consuming waste at the bottom of the tank.

GloFish

A GloFish is actually just a classic zebra danio with altered genetics to make it more vibrant. This glowing fish is often yellow, red, or green in design and is a very colorful and cute addition to your tank. If you want a cheaper fish, simply buy a zebra danio instead so you can enjoy this fun fish in its natural glory. There are different varieties of this popular, easy-care fish to love.

Platy

A fun fish is always a great addition to any tank, and the platy does not disappoint. A naturally curious fish with cute markings, this striking swimmer is likely to come out and greet visitors who view the tank. This fish gets along well with others and is easy to care for.

As you shop around for new fish for your tank, make sure you go to a tropical fish store, like Neptune's Tropical Fish, that has many varieties of healthy fish and plenty of supplies you need. Friendly associates can help you choose fish that will thrive with your tank size and other fish you own.
