In general, tropical freshwater fish are found
all over the world. The ones kept for home aquarias include wild-caught
specimens, single-species individuals born in captivity, some
are selectively bred for special physical features such as long
fins, or particular colorations such as albino, and others are
hybrids of more than one species. In today's aquarium hobby, almost
every common tropical freshwater fish has been bred in captivity.
Many countries have even set up fish farms, also known as 'aquaculture
facilities', in order to avoid depleting fish from their native
habitat. Whatever the choice of freshwater aquarium you plan to
set up usually begins with the choice of tropical fish species
you would like to keep in it. Besides personal preferences, there
are many factors to be taken into consideration; fish's adult
size, water preferences, feeding habits, compatibility with other
species, and more.
There are literally thousands of fish species available in the
aquarium hobby and more and more are being discovered. Our goal
here is not to show you all of them but provide you with some
information of the types of fish and invertebrates we carry. Most
of the fish species on our website are suitable for the planted
aquaria and likely to live peacefully with each another. We are
