Pisces are beautiful creatures, more like a work of art, and, not surprisingly, many people prefer to decorate the house with aquariums rather than paintings.
1. The Cardinal of Bangali
If you are going to visit the islands of Bangai in Indonesia, then hurry to see one of its main attractions - the fish of Cardinal Bangai, because it is only there and it has already been listed as endangered! By the way, this little girl is no more than seven centimeters long, and besides, a real fashionista - her body is always crossed by exactly three black stripes!
2. Angel blue-headed
Another scaly beauty did not fail to choose a habitat - she likes the coral reefs of Maldives, Taiwan and Indonesia. An interesting fact is that the angel bluehead is very shy and leads a single way of life. When frightened, a loud sound will sound, which will scare you. But if from the ocean depths you want to bring this bright decoration to the house, then for the sake of one individual you will have to prepare an aquarium for as much as 900 liters!
3. Clown
Thanks to the touching animation history of the fish, the clown has long been referred to as Nemo. By the way, accidentally or specially, but the script's authors got to the point - the boy Nemo is brought up by the single father Marlin, who lost his wife. And in real life, that's exactly the way - the fish clowns are born by males and only because of the need to breed, some individuals change their sex.
4. A triggerfish clown
Each owner of a large aquarium wants to get this fish because of the bright color, and then bites his elbows because of the consequences. It turns out that the spinor clown grows to a length of up to half a meter and has a very aggressive character. If one of his neighbors does not like him, consider that he is no more! Even scuba divers bypass it and it is not surprising, because with their powerful teeth, the spinor-clown cuts not only shells, shells and corals, but also gnaws stones!
5. Lalious
This labyrinthine fish comes from India, it will be a real find for those who do not have time to follow the quality of water in the aquarium. Oh, horror, but it turns out, the natural habitat of the Lalius are warm, muddy, polluted water bodies with standing water!
6. Centropig or Fiery Angel
Orange-red color, five black vertical lines on the sides, and even blue-violet feathers on the fins - of course, such a beauty will turn anyone's head. That's why in the aquarium, around the females of fire angels, there can be only one male, otherwise conflicts between them are not for life, and death can not be avoided!
7. The French Angel
You will be surprised by this fact, but the French angel is a monogamous fish and lives in a pair. However, you can not find a soul mate for her - she does it only herself! And when a young family has formed, then beware, because its territory will be the most inviolable!
8. Imperial Angelfish
It is one of the most famous and amazingly beautiful types of glaciers in the world. In the natural habitat, it can live more than 15 years. And there is an opinion that in the mating season the imperial fish-angel creates a pair in which he lives his whole life. And if one dies, the death of the second is a matter of hours.
9. Lion fish
This oceanic woman has several names - lion fish, striped lionfish and even zebra fish. Wine to all - an unusual shape and color, which is not perceived as a warning. And in vain - one bite of this poisonous fish is enough for the paralysis of the human skeletal and respiratory system!
10. Lyrebird grouper or rainbow variola
Another deep ocean inhabitant, to see and get that so want all divers. Meanwhile, the payment for the catch of this beautiful species of rock perch is sad - the meat and the entrails of the lyrebird group contain poison. Using it in food, there may not be a lethal outcome, but pains in the joints and dizziness will bother for several more years!
11. Mandarin fish
Did you know that this miniature fish (only 6.5 centimeters in length) is often called the young tangerine dragon? So, to get into your aquarium it will not be very easy - this is a hood with a complex character and a real gourmet. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, she prefers only caviar, polychaete worms or ostracods!
12. Moorish idol or zinc
If, up to this point, we remembered only the real dreams of aquarists, then the Moorish idol is a dream unattainable. This graceful beauty is one of the most expensive decorative fish on the market, and even with the lowest survival rates. By the way, it was the Moorish idol who was honored to become a symbol of marine iconography - his image is most often found in illustrations, curtains for a bath and other objects!
13. Iridescent Parrot Fish
This name this fish was not accidental at all - its non-movable mouth and special structure of teeth form the likeness of the parrot's beak. And, like the feathered prototype, parrotfish has a variety of colors in all bright colors and shades.
14. Blowfish or fish fugu
If you are the most brave and cold-blooded gourmet in the world, ahead of which the journey to Japan awaits, this note is for you! After all, it is in the country of the rising sun that the soup is prepared from the frog fish (fugu fish), the poison of which is toxic to cyanides 275 times!
15. Blue royal tan or fish-surgeon
Like the fame of the clown fish Nemo, a surgeon fish (named so because of the dangerous sharp spikes located at the top and bottom of the caudal fin) has recently received a new name - Dori! And environmentalists are already sounding the alarm, because because of unprecedented popularity and excitement, this species is under threat of extinction. And if the clownfish, whose sale after the release of the cartoon has grown by 40%, can live in aquariums, for artificial fish, the artificial environment is fatal!
16. Butterfly butterfly butterfly
Agree, without a flock of these bright colorful beauties, the underwater world can not be imagined! Interestingly, butterfly butterflies are active only during the daytime (they can not be called exactly the night butterflies!), And they will deftly distinguish their house-reef from the neighbor and never let the personal territory of the stranger.
17. Symphysodon discus
Despite the fact that the descended from the Amazon, the proud and independent disposition of the Amazons, they did not inherit. These fish are family creatures and once formed a couple, they remain true to each other for life!
18. Royal triggerfish
This poisonous (!) Fish just will surprise you! The fact is that the scales of the royal spinor are not the same as those of all fish, but very large and ossified, similar to plates. Lining one against another, they form a single skeleton-shell. And when the fish outlives its time, then on the seabed you can see the real accumulation of mummies - boxes in the form of fish!
