It’s called a small tropical red fish. There is also another species called lantern fish.
Since the breeding of small tropical ornamental fish, there have been quite a few varieties. We have experienced the chagrin of failure and the joy of success.
At present, the surviving ornamental fish are basically stable, and there have been no deaths in the past few months. Make a retrospective introduction to the tropical ornamental fish you raise.
Tiger fish is also called Pingping. As its name suggests, although it is not expensive, it is very easy to survive and easy to breed. It does not have high requirements for water quality and water temperature. It can grow normally at a water temperature of 0°C to 0°C. It is very suitable for inexperienced fish farmers to breed. I have raised ten fish and none of them died.
Tiger fish are docile, like to live in groups, and are willing to get close to people. After raising it for a period of time, whenever someone approaches, the tiger fish will swim to the wall of the tank to welcome you. If you put your hand into the fish tank, the tiger fish will swim around your hand, and small fish will brush against your finger or It feels really good to peck your fingers gently.
Tiger fish will chase and bite other small fish with long fins and tails, so it is not suitable to keep small fish with long fins and tails (such as angel fish and guppies) together.
Feed: It likes to eat live bait, but can also be fed small particles of dry feed.
Zebrafish are lively and active, swimming almost all the time. They live in groups and rarely attack other fish. They can be mixed with different kinds of small fish. The requirements for water quality and water temperature are not high, and they are not expensive, usually 1 yuan a piece. I raised a total of eight blue and pink zebrafish, and all of them survived.
Zebrafish are afraid of people. They are cute when they are little fish, but they don’t look good when they grow up.
Feed: small pellets of dry feed.
Golden fish is named after the golden stripes on each side of its body. It is less active than zebrafish, timid and afraid of people, and will not attack other fish. It has low requirements on water quality and water temperature and is easy to breed. I bought a pair for just $1.
Feed: small pellets of dry feed.
The neon swallow is lively and active, and its body is transparent. Its vertebrae and internal organs can be clearly seen. The most peculiar thing is that its swimming fins do not grow on the ventral side like ordinary fish. It grows on the dorsal side. I was deeply attracted by it when I first saw it. I bought two pairs for 100 yuan, but only one survived.
Neon Swallows have higher requirements for water quality, and the water temperature should not be too low. It should be above ℃. Male fish love to show off and will spread their pelvic and dorsal fins like a peacock when seeing similar fish.
The neon swallow is willing to come into contact with people. It seems very excited when someone approaches, but it does not dare to swim close.
Feed: small particles of dry feed or frozen food, do not like live bait.
The name of the glass flag is very strange. I think the glass refers to the transparency of its body, and the flag may be due to the three black stripes on its dorsal fin, which resembles a flag stretching in the wind.
Glass Flagger likes to be quiet and not active, but is also afraid of people. It is withdrawn and rarely plays with others of the same kind. It has low requirements on water quality and water temperature and is easy to breed.

Parrot fish have different names according to their origin, and some are named according to their appearance. Parrot fish like to live in groups and are timid. Small parrot fish are afraid of people, but large parrot fish are no longer afraid of people.
Although parrot fish are timid, they are very aggressive with each other, but they often do not cause any harm to each other, so there is no need to worry about them fighting. Most of the fights between them are for the leadership position. Once the position is clear, the fight will no longer be fierce. When two fish of equal strength fight, the stronger fish will often step in to stop it. The parrot fish I raised once laid eggs, but no fish hatched out. According to some data, the parrot fish is a hybrid species and has no reproductive ability on its own.
Parrot fish have strong survival ability and do not have high requirements for water quality. They can still survive in slightly turbid water. I sometimes only change the water once every two weeks.
Feed: Parrot fish have excellent appetites and are not picky about any food.
Although the tiger shark has a loud name and a somewhat ferocious appearance, its nature is very docile and even timid.
At first, I kept tiger sharks with other small fish, and I never saw them eating other small fish. Later, when they grew older, I kept them with parrot fish. I always saw parrot fish bullying tiger sharks.
Feed: Live bait (although tiger sharks are always swimming, their hunting ability is poor and their eyesight is poor, so it is best to feed slow-moving live food) or pellet feed.
Golden Beauty is covered in bright yellow and likes to live in groups. It has high requirements on water quality and water temperature. I purchased three pairs, but none survived.

Guppies are also called anchovies. Different species have different colors, including black, red, blue and variegated. Their varieties vary greatly from one medium to another. Ordinary guppies do not have high requirements for water quality and water temperature, but the rare species are very delicate and require good water quality. The water temperature must be above ℃, otherwise they will die easily. I have purchased them many times, but they all died due to rotten fins and tails.

The bodies of lotus lantern and traffic light fish are mostly blue at the top and red at the bottom. The most obvious difference between the two is the different color distribution of their bodies. Under the lotus lantern, The half-red color is from the cheeks to the tail, while the rear section of the lower body is mostly red at traffic lights.
Both lotus lanterns and traffic lights like to live in groups. It’s really nice to keep a group of lotus lanterns or traffic lights in a water tank with some living water plants. Unfortunately, these small fish have high requirements on water quality and water temperature. I keep them Several attempts were unsuccessful.

Feed: Live bait (because swallows are delicate, it is best to disinfect the food before feeding live bait) or dry feed.
