[quote=Anonymous]I know everyone hates the poster I'm about to be, but if you just want to add tap water and be done with it, no fish or a plastic fish is really your best option. A betta really is the next best option, as their physiology lends itself well to low maintenance. They have adaptations that allow them low oxygen / low current/ etc. Goldfish are actually a bad option. Did you know they can live up to 15 years or more? Most people don't know that because they've never seen a cared for goldfish. They're carp, and they can and will grow huge. They also soil a lot due to the fact that they have no stomach, so they require a lot of water changes. Also, small bowls stunt them. Even with a betta, you need to condition the water, make sure it's the right temperature, and ensure that they are medicated if sick. If you're not prepared to do easy care, then don't get a fish.
