Live bearers especially platys are extremely easy to keep with very little effort. They also have interesting colors as will.

Whether or not that qualifies as having good knowledge about fish in another matter.

Yeah but if you dont want to have to do much dont get male and female, they will breed like crazy and you will have to deal with fry. I made the mistake of starting my girlfriend out wtih fancy guppies, 2 weeks later she had 30 fry i had to deal with.....

tetras are easy enough in my book.

yeah tetras are sooooo easy to look after its not even funny. But when its time for new fish ill lean more to easier fish rather than waste-making goldfish.

So far I think my Afrian Cichlids are the easiest to care for, their tank seems to stay cleaner and they are more fun to watch and have a huge variety of colors.

Male/Female guppies breed like no tomorrow.

Community tank is interesting but seems to dirty up realy fast.
