What fish would you recommend to a beginner hobbyist? Why?


 
Any type of ocellaris clownfish, if I had to pick just one anyway :). As far as the why.... I would say because they are very Hardy and have tons of character and are not usually too aggressive depending on your mix of fish.
 
It’s note as high of quality as BRS but I’m having fun.
Best and Worst fish for beginning reef keepers

Mollies! Inexpensive, hardy, and come in so many different colors and varieties :)
 
Lawnmower Blenny as they are pretty hardy and will help your tank through all your ugly stages.
 
I'm a fan of Royal Grammas. Very peaceful and easy to keep plus lots of color. Won't be a problem down the road.
 
Firefish gobies, percula clowns or chromis which school
 
Any type of assessor or possum wrasse.
