People who like fish farming will definitely not be satisfied with simple farming. What they need is high-grade freshwater fish with high ornamental and collection value. So, which species are the most valuable for freshwater fish farming? The following will make a detailed exposition from three aspects: variety, difficulty and market demand.

Importance of variety selection

In freshwater fish culture, selecting varieties is the first priority. It is required that the price of expensive fish is high, and the quality characteristics of fish, such as lip line, color and stripes, should be satisfied first. Therefore, the quality of fish is the key factor to determine the price, which depends on the species.

At present, the popular freshwater fish on the market are guppies, Arhat, immortals, tortoise fish, dinosaur fish and arowana. The prices of these species are relatively high, mainly because of their long survival time, bright colors and high ornamental value, and there is no doubt that the higher the price, the more difficult it is to raise fish.

Consideration on the difficulty of breeding

Just like raising other animals, raising expensive fish has higher requirements. Obviously, choosing fish with low difficulty and strong adaptability is more conducive to successful farming. At present, among the freshwater fish suitable for family farming, the price of black-backed goldfish, purple-billed light fish, red snapper, and crab fish with tassels is relatively high, and the breeding difficulty is relatively low. The aquaculture water quality of these fish is relatively tolerant, which does not need to be put into a large number of aquaculture environments, and the aquaculture cycle is generally short, so there is a chance to improve the value of such fish farming.

The influence of market demand

Although there are many expensive fish that are not difficult to breed, the market demand is not high and the breeding income is difficult to be guaranteed because of their unpopularity. Therefore, understanding the market demand plays a vital role in improving the price and aquaculture value of fish. For example, important fishmongers value or like a particular species of fish, which is more expensive in the market and more interested by collectors.

Generally speaking, the consideration of market demand is equally important when choosing to breed expensive fish. Therefore, people who want to realize the benefits need to understand the market and choose fish species that are relatively corresponding to the market. Fish with good appearance, large increase and strong market demand are often the ideal choice for breeding expensive fish.
