Fish

2121 species

Saltwater fish are a diverse group of organisms that bring color, activity, and complexity to a marine aquarium. They range from the small, peaceful clownfish to the larger, more aggressive groupers. Each species has unique care requirements, including tank size, water parameters, diet, and compatibility with other tank inhabitants. For example, dwarf angels are popular for their vibrant colors and moderate size, making them suitable for many home aquariums, while larger angels require more space and specific diets. It's crucial for hobbyists to research the needs of each fish species to ensure a healthy and thriving aquarium community.
