Nowadays, fish farming has become a popular way for people to relax and unwind amidst the fast-paced, stressful lives we lead. Raising beautiful ornamental fish not only provides a source of pleasure but also offers a calming escape from the daily grind.


If you're not sure which fish to keep, here are some good-looking and easy-to-keep ornamental fish to consider:


1. Clownfish


This tropical saltwater fish is named for its white stripes resembling a clown in Peking opera. It has an inseparable symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, making it also known as anemone fish.


2. Zebrafish


This small and delicate fish is lively and easy to care for. With a mild temperament, it can be mixed with other warm tropical fish and has low water quality requirements. It can even survive in water temperatures as low as 11-15 degrees Celsius for more than seven days.


3. Kissing fish


This fish is not too strict on water quality requirements and is very suitable for first-time fish breeders. It has a charming charm and appreciation value and keeps aquatic plants fresh and green and aquariums clean by constantly nibbling on walls and plants.


4. Thai fighting fish


This is a popular choice for many beginners as it does not require high water quality and can survive in water temperatures ranging from 21-30 degrees Celsius.


5. Rainbow shark


This fish is highly adaptable and easy to keep, but it has a brave and fierce nature and may fight even with its own kind. It also does not choose food, so it is best not to mix it with smaller fish.


6. Moonlight fish


This fish is highly adaptable to water temperature and fish farming environments, with the most suitable water temperature ranging between 22-26 degrees Celsius. It has a mild temperament, loves quiet environments, and is not picky about food.


7. Peacock fish


Also known as anchovies, this fish is lively and loved by people for its beautiful appearance. It does not fight with other fish and is suitable for mixing with non-aggressive fish. It does not require high environmental requirements and is not expensive, but its lifespan is relatively short.


8. Red sword


This artificially selected swordtail fish is red all over and better fed as a pet fish. It can survive in weak acidic or weak alkaline water and is not picky about food, but its lifespan is relatively short at 2-3 years.


9. Black skirt fish


This fish has a flat, almost diamond-shaped body and is kept in aquariums. It is relatively easy to keep and has a mild group temperament, making it suitable for those with less experience in tropical fish breeding. It primarily feeds on live food.


10. Asian Arowana


This beautiful pet fish has a variety of species and does not require high water quality. Its oval abdomen is light yellow, with two colors blue and yellow. When there is a lack of oxygen in the water, it surfaces to change the air.


In conclusion, fish farming can be a therapeutic hobby and can also add a touch of beauty to your living space. These ornamental fish are not only good-looking but also easy to keep, making them ideal for beginners and those looking for a low-maintenance pet.
