Clown fish (Amphiprion) Discus fish (Symphysodon) The kings of the aquarium – this is the name earned by one of the most beautiful aquarium fish on the planet – discus (Symphysodon sp.). These fish immediately attract the eye due to their extremely unusual, almost round, body shape and spectacular coloring, especially in numerous breeds. The fish were named discus for their flattened, disc-like body. Butterfly fish (Pantodon buchholzi) Lives near the surface of the water. It feeds on mosquito larvae and pupae, crustaceans, fish fry, collects insects that have fallen into the water, and also hunts for insects flying over bodies of water, for which it jumps out of the water. Surgeon fish (Acanthurus) A distinctive feature of surgeon fish are the sharp spines located at the top and bottom of the caudal fin. For such a sharp tail, the fish are sometimes called "scalpel fish". These dangerous razor-like spines are used by the animal as a self-defense weapon Angelfish (Pomacanthidae) Angelfish are a fairly large family of coral fish, numbering 9 genera and about 80 species. Angelfish live in the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, inhabiting mainly coastal waters, where they stay on coral reefs. Lalius fish (Colisa lalia) Lalius has many different color morphs. All of them are very brightly colored. Peaceful and calm laliuses get along well with other types of aquarium fish. Betta fish (Betta splendens) Betta fish are extremely quarrelsome with each other, and very often a clash of two males leads to the death of one of them. This feature has long been used by the inhabitants of Thailand to hold tournament fights for money. In some provinces, this tradition is still alive. Parrotfish (Scaridae) Parrotfish are herbivorous, typically scraping algae from dead coral substrates, biting off pieces of rock and coral along with the algae to aid digestion. Moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus) The Moorish Idol is found from Zanzibar and Mauritius to the Indian Ocean, and is found off the coasts of East India, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia and the coast of Japan, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Mandarin Duck (Synchiropus splendidus) Mandarin Ducks are reef dwellers, preferring sheltered lagoons and coastal reefs. Although they are slow swimmers and fairly common in their range, they are not easy to observe due to their bottom feeding habits and small size (about 6 cm). They feed mainly on crustaceans and other invertebrates. The name mandarinfish is given to them because of their unusually bright coloring, reminiscent of the robe of the imperial Chinese mandarin. Clownfish (Amphiprion) To avoid expulsion from their anemone, clownfish remain small. Young individuals limit their growth to avoid incurring the wrath of older relatives. After the death of a larger fish, the smaller one begins to grow to take its place. Music: June - Bobby Richards #top10 #fish #fishes #animals
