Interesting Aquarium Fish
Goldfish
With over 300 different color and body type combinations to choose
from, goldfish are far from "plain old" anymore!
Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish)
One of the most popular species of fish available
today. Unfortunately, the Betta vase is
killing many of these wonderful fish unnecessarily and making many
people think that keeping fish is harder than it really is...
Piranha
Thanks to Hollywood and some highly exaggerated early reports, these
fish have an unfounded reputation as vicious and violent fish. In some
places, this has resulted in unnecessary laws regulating their sale
and distribution.
Pacu
Close cousins to the piranha, these fish are often more aggressive and
territorial, though they tend to be herbivorous!
Oscar
Quite possibly the fish with the most personality. These very
intelligent fish can make great pets, but they don't tend to get along
well with other fish...
Ornamental Snails
Fascinating critters to keep in your fish tank, but beware that they
can be devastating to live plants, and do not expect them to clean up
for you, as they tend to be very messy...
Dragonfish
A North and Central American brackish water fish that can grow to two
feet long and may (though rarely) hunt smaller fish.
