Easy freshwater fish

The real trick with this fish is their size and aggression. There are some great videos online of owners petting and hand-feeding their Flowerhorn! These fish are very smart and are known to build a very close bond with their owners. This is our favorite variation personally, but it can be hard to find. Sometimes you’ll see the white spots be more dominant than the red on their bodies. There will also be some black patches that run laterally down their midline and sometimes on their hump as well.

These fish come in a mix of colors, but the most common is a bright red-pink with white spots all over. With their nuchal hup (the large lump on their head) they bring a very unique look to your tank. Watching a bunch of these colorful critters dart around your aquarium never gets old!Įven when you take color out of the equation, Flowerhorn Cichlids are really a sight to see. Since these fish are small and prefer to swim in schools, it makes them one of the most fun species to observe. This species can be sensitive to changes in habitat conditions, but as long as you maintain a consistent environment everything will be fine.

These fish are a good choice for aquarists of all experience levels because of their easygoing nature and flexible water parameters. There is a variation called the Clown Killifhs as well, which has a blueish-green body with vertical white stripes and a vibrant tail with red horizontal stripes (that’s our favorite). The combination of red spots on a bright blue body makes these fish very easy to spot in any tank. Some of the color variations this fish has are simply gorgeous! Killifish are a really interesting species that definitely deserves to be on this list.
