The Best Aquarium Freshwater Fish for Beginners
Maintaining an aquarium can be a very rewarding and fun activity. One of the great things about the hobby is that with preparation and patience, anyone can have a beautiful fish tank.
There are countless varieties of aquarium freshwater fish, and this can be both a good thing and a bad thing. I say bad because there are some fish that either require special care or they are more temperamental. These fish are more demanding and therefore are not the best fish for the beginner's first aquarium. Sometimes it is not easy for the beginner who is picking out fish to know the good (easy) from the bad (temperamental) which can lead to frustration and wasted money on new fish.
With that in mind, here is a quick starter list of fish that are ideally suited for the novice. They are beautiful, active, and most importantly, hardy fish. That's not to say buying these fish is an excuse for lax care and maintenance, it just means that minor fluctuations in temperature or pH won't cause them to be lost.
- Guppies – These fish are hardy, inexpensive, and come in many beautiful varieties. The males have long, flowing, multi-colored fins and they are generally quite active in the upper and middle water levels in the tank. As a bonus, they may be one of the easiest fish to breed, so you may end up witnessing the wonder of live-bearing fish without any effort on your part.
- Plecostomus – Commonly just called the pleco, there are actually a number of pleco species that are available to the aquarium keeper. Most are very hardy fish and belong to the group of "algae eaters". They will indeed eat algae in your tank, but they do need to be fed over and above that. The pleco will occupy the lower level of your tank and with his less than beautiful looks (OK, they're ugly), he will definitely add a bit of personality to your tank.
- Gouramis – Including the Dwarf, Blue, and Kissing Gourami. These fish add a nice element of size (they are not huge, but a blue could grow to 4+ inches) and color to any community tank. Most people that are interested in aquariums are familiar with the Kissing Gourami and a pair will make a great addition to most any tank.
- Swordtails – With their deep orange color and the male's namesake sword-shaped tail, these fish mix in well with a community tank.
- Cory Cats – Short for Corydoras, this is another group of fish with many varieties. They are fine as a single, but as a group they will school together exploring and scouring the bottom of the tank, and they are a fun fish to have patrolling your aquarium.
- Danios – This is another fish with many varieties. I include them because they are good, hardy fish that are extremely active and never seem to tire out. The zebra, leopard, and giant danios are all popular fish and will add a lot of activity to your tank, although some people find their constant activity level almost a bit too much, so keep that in mind.
- Goldfish – Talk about endless variety! Goldfish have it and more. Colors, fins, size, eyes, scales…there are enough to write many books on them. As such, they are a popular choice for a species tank, which is an aquarium with only different types of goldfish. They are very tolerant of a wide range of temperatures but that doesn't mean they will tolerate bad water. They do produce a lot of waste and may require a bit more water changing than some other fish, but they still make a great choice for someone who is just getting into the fish keeping hobby.
This list is only a small sample of fish that are well suited for the beginner, but it covers a good cross-section. There is variety in color, size, activity level, and water column level (from surface to bottom). It is certainly a good start and hopefully it will lead you toward many other wonderful fish for your new aquarium!

are there any saltwater live bearing fish?

Some sharks and rays are livebearing. So is the Coelacanth. Seehere for a link I found on Yahoo answerds about livebearing sharks:
