His color is quite intense and bright, a unique characteristic of koi that no other fish can match. Koi fish can be raised in tanks and large ponds. But raising it inside a pond has the advantage of being able to grow its body to its full potential without limitations. But for anyone who wants to raise them in a tank, I recommend that they should raise them in a tank no smaller than 30 centimeters so that they can swim without feeling too uncomfortable. - Arowana fish

The beauty of the Arowana fish lies in the area of its scales. The scales are arranged beautifully and neatly, like they are arranged.

Not only that, the color of the scales themselves are very beautiful!! Because it is bright and blue-green. If the interior of the aquarium is decorated with lights, its scales will reflect light very brightly.

However, Arowana fish must be raised alone in the tank. Because he is fierce and quite territorial. - Flowerhorn cichlid Scientific name Cichlidae
The personality traits of cichlids are quite similar to those of Arowana fish, which is somewhat aggressive and territorial. Therefore, it can be seen that most people will keep them alone in the tank. The distinctive feature of the cichlid fish is the large, round hump on the head. How beautiful is the big and round hump on the head? The price of fish is even more expensive. In addition, the colors of cichlids are unusual. If anyone wants beautiful fish, raise them to add beauty to the home. Every time I look at it, it’s beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Cichlid fish are considered to be the answer. - Gymnocory

Most of the time, many houses don’t raise just one Gymnocory fish. But you will raise many of them because Gymnocory fish are especially beautiful when they are in groups. - Swordtail fish Scientific name: Xiphophorus
The reason why this fish was named ‘Sword-tailed fish’ because its tail is long and pointed, which is very close to the handle. It is a distinctive feature and selling point that when seen, you can tell that it is a sword-tailed fish. No matter how many times you look at it, you will feel very comfortable, especially during the mating season. The males swim beautifully to impress the females.

The beauty of it lies in its body, which has an orange-brown color. The fins are orange-black and the fin tips are slightly white. Another noticeable point is that there are black spots on his cheeks, which looks quite cute. However, I would like to raise several fish due to the behavior of Serpae fish. Tetra likes to live in groups. And it is recommended that you should not raise it with other fish that are similar in size because they will be quite aggressive with fish of the same size but different species. - Zebra fish
