Features: This book includes a total of 489 species of common freshwater ornamental fish found domestically and internationally, classified into 20 orders, 75 families, and 214 genera, including some native Chinese species that have not yet been artificially domesticated. The book is divided into three main parts: an overview of fish, a detailed section, and a name index. The overview focuses on introducing fundamental knowledge of ichthyology related to fishkeeping, enabling aquarium enthusiasts to gain a comprehensive understanding of fish from the outside in. The detailed section primarily introduces the external morphology, life habits, and suitable water environment of each fish based on the needs of cultivation. Addressing the issue of ornamental fish having multiple names and different regional designations for the same species, the author systematically introduces the Chinese name, scientific name, English name, and synonyms of each fish from a taxonomic perspective, and provides an index of all names at the end of the book.
