Have Questions About Tropical Fish for Sale?
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
1. Which tropical fish are best for beginners?
Hardy community fish such as platies, guppies, mollies, corydoras and many tetras are good first choices. They're peaceful, adaptable and easy to feed. Always check adult size and group needs before buying.
3. Does my tank need to be cycled before I add fish?
Yes. A new aquarium needs time for beneficial bacteria to build up in the filter, usually a few weeks. Testing for ammonia and nitrite tells you when it's ready. Bacterial starter products can help speed this up.
5. How are live fish delivered?
Fish are packed in oxygenated bags inside insulated boxes and sent by a dedicated livestock delivery service. Float the bags on arrival and acclimate slowly before releasing your fish.
7. Can I mix any tropical fish together?
No. Some grow large, some nip fins and some need different water. Each product page lists tank size, temperature and temperament, and our guide to fish you should never keep together covers common mistakes.
2. How many fish can I put in my aquarium?
It depends on the adult size and behaviour of the fish, your filtration and how mature the tank is. Stock slowly, adding a few fish at a time over several weeks so the filter bacteria can keep up.
4. What temperature do tropical fish need?
Most tropical fish are happiest between 24 and 27°C, so you'll need an aquarium heater. Check each species' listing, as some prefer slightly cooler or warmer water.
6. How many tropical fish can I add at once?
Add a few at a time, waiting 1 to 2 weeks between batches, so your filter bacteria can keep up with the extra waste.
Tropical Fish for Sale
Tropical fish bring colour, movement and character to a freshwater aquarium. Our tropical fish range includes small shoaling fish, peaceful bottom dwellers, colourful livebearers and larger feature fish, so there is something to suit every size of tank and every level of experience.
Popular community fish include tetras, rasboras, danios, barbs, guppies and platies, along with corydoras and loaches for the lower levels of the tank. For something different, look at gouramis, angelfish, rainbowfish or our range of cichlids, which need more careful planning around tank size and temperament.
Before choosing fish, check the adult size, the group size each species needs, and whether it suits your water and existing tank mates. Most tropical fish are kept at 24 to 26°C, so make sure your tank has a reliable aquarium heater. Only add fish to a fully cycled filter, add a few at a time and test water with freshwater test kits. Feed a varied diet of quality flake food and frozen foods.
Charterhouse Aquatics keeps a changing selection of tropical fish, and our team is happy to advise on compatible fish and stocking levels for your aquarium.
