I have marine fish, tropical and coldwater fish (not all in the same tank mind!) out of all of them I find the tropical are the easiest to keep marine tanks can take years to establish, marine fish can be pretty expensive to buy and you have to be prepared for losses in the early weeks/months of setting them up.

I'd personally go for tropical fish although marine fish are very nice too look at it's a pretty expensive hobby! Goldfish I've found tend to produce more waste, so more time spent on cleaning them out every few weeks via doing water changes.

o.k thats sorted it then, i cant cope with lots of deaths etc, the kids wont have nemo then .

I'm glad that you're not going down the 'nemo' route, I've had four different reef systems in recent years and they've all been fairly hard work. I've already wasted a lot of money due to my mistakes in the learning process.

For a 23 litre tank I would suggest a single Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) or if you can find them, Microrasboras, these are absolutely wonderful little fish.

thankyou, again i'll google them just to see what the ***** you are going on aboutconfused:
thanks again

those are really pretty thankyou and they come in soooo many different colours

Just a word of caution with some of the angel and tetra fish. They can be very picky about their water quailty.

Glowlight Danios are great for a splash of colour and pretty much indestructable.

And would also be too big for a 23 litre tank, unless she intends to upgrade.
