In the aquarium world, the Definition of the South American Bream is a seabream native to tropical and subtropical adult fish less than 10 cm long in South America, this type of small fish living in freshwater has a bright color, interesting behavior, and amazing reproductive ability, and is one of the fastest breeding species in the world. A vague concept in biological classification, the term was originally translated from the English "DwarfCichlid" by Taiwanese tropical fish players, "Dwarf" means short, and what we call short seabream is generally used to guide cichlid species with a body length of less than 10 cm growing in the rivers of the American rainforest.
12. Papage Rainbow WingEdam Bream
The Papaji Rainbow Wing Gem comes from peru's Rio Ampiyacu, which flows into the Amazon river in the Pebas region. In recent years there have been many interesting bream, ratfish and salamander found in the upper tributaries of the river. These habitats are characterized by black water or clear water, and soft acid water is the water quality necessary for feeding and breeding these fish. The snapper is a brightly colored Apistogramma snapper that has been popular in the ornamental fish market for several years, known as the "Parrot Bream" in Europe and the United States or the Papage Rainbow-winged Gem Bream sp in Chinese areas." Papagei"), the fingerlings of the fish, were finally given their official scientific names many years later.

13. Double-banded bream Phylum Notochords Radiated finned fish Order Perciformes
Double-banded bream Distribution: Nigro River, Barceló River, Dai Rice Grain River, water temperature: 22-25 degrees, water quality: pH 6.5-7.2, Characteristics: Early known as blue tail bream, later known as double-banded bream according to foreign countries. There are two obvious black bands running through the side of the body, and the body color has three forms: all-blue type, yellow type on the chest and orange type on the abdomen, and the male fish will also emit a bright light blue metallic luster. Feeding and breeding are difficult and sensitive to water quality.
The double-banded bream has a large mouth, two thick and obvious black stripes on the side of the body, and the mature male tail fin is string-shaped, and his carmine fins reflect each other, which is very beautiful; the body surface is glowing with a faint blue metallic luster, so it is also called a blue tail. The biggest feature is the two black bands of diffuse body sides on the side of her body, mainly from the back of the eyes through the whole body and ends on the tail handle, the body type is slender, the dorsal fin does not have towering hard spines, only the smooth and rounded dorsal fin gradually rises backwards and extends backwards, the color is beautiful and charming, mainly based on red, with a metallic blue edge at the near edge, the base of the dorsal fin is as beautiful as sprinkled with gold powder, the piano-shaped tail, a circle of red and blue net flowers, like a shiny fan.
The ventral fin is also unusually long, about extending to the fin, the mouth is larger, and the slender and slender body shape is a little uncoordinated, but this is also her characteristic, under the eyes is a little blue cheek cover. The water quality cultivation of the double-banded bream must be more stringent than other varieties of bream, the pH value is low, followed by the hardness must be small to meet its water quality standards, the water flow in the local wild environment is very slow and the water color is very dark and very close to the brown color, so it can be imitated in the wild environment Generally has a deeper water color and slow flow rate filtration system, dense aquatic grass for her to hide, the cave formed by the wood and stone is the best place to live, the personality is mild, shy, can be mixed with other varieties of bream. Breeding and rearing are not difficult. Omnivorous, artificial feed can also be accepted.

14. Dutch Phoenix Bream Phylum Notophyllosa Laminae Rayfin fish Cichlids
Dutch phoenix bream, native to the Orinoco River system in Venezuela, is called the Dutch phoenix after being improved and bred by breeders in the Netherlands and Germany. They belong to the same genus as the Bolivian phoenix, but are more beautiful in color, with adults 6-9 cm long and the same pattern as the medaka family. It's not a gem-like sparkle. The male has a nice red edge on his fins. The dark spots on the back and the red eyes are extraordinary. The four black spines on the male's dorsal fin are very beautiful.
Dutch phoenix bream, artificially cultivated to raise a single species is better, when the number is large, it provides enough shelter, including aquatic grasses, small clay pots and so on. The bottom of the fish tank can be laid with a mixture of silicate-type river sand and carbon sludge, or the carbon mud can be placed in an open container in the tank so that its humic acid is slowly released and the water quality is kept weakly acidic. The fish tank is placed in a cool, slightly dark place to prevent the water temperature from being too high in summer. After domesticating its artificial feed, daily management will be easier. A small pneumatic sponge filter is used as a purification facility in the cylinder, which can avoid frequent water changes.
The Dutch phoenix snapper, mild-mannered, small and exquisite, swims in the aquarium almost all day long. Easy to raise and can be polycultured with other species of fish. When raising daily, put some pebbles at the bottom of the aquarium to make the water clear. The male is long, narrow, lively and active, and has a darker body color; the female has a large abdomen, swaying and swaying, and a lighter body color.
The Dutch phoenix bream, although it has a territorial consciousness of cichlids, can be bred in groups. It requires weak acidic water quality (PH5.5 ~ 6.5), neutral water quality can also be adapted, suitable water temperature of 23 ~ 27 ° C, in the middle and lower layers of the water body activities, like aquatic grass sand bottom environment. In group breeding, sexually mature individuals pair themselves up and leave the group to occupy a relatively safe position as a nest, using the nest as a spawning and breeding site. Fry feed on rotifers, grasshoppers, etc., and when they grow up, they feed on other palatable small animals such as branches, insect larvae, water earthworms, etc., and also eat artificially made chilled and dry feed.

15. Three-line bream Phylum Chordates Radiated finned fish Order Perch
Three-line snapper, alias: blue three-line snapper, origin: distributed in South America, in the north of Paraguay. Three-line bream body length: 4.5-6 cm, habits: territorial, and polygamous, so it is necessary to maintain many female fish to pair with a male, the male swims in the upper layer, while the female swims in the lower layer, the personality is docile, but will dig holes, especially in the breeding season, will form a matrilineal family. Feeding habits: Carnivorous fish, which can be fed live bait, such as water fleas, sword water fleas and mosquito larvae.

16. Vegeta bream Phyla Chordata Phyla Radial Finned Fish
The Vegeta snapper is a member of the Macmasteri Group, mainly found on the Rio Meta river in Colombia. Although the distribution range is not large, the differences caused by different distribution areas can be distinguished by color into three types. These species are characterized by a high body height and long fins. Compared with the Mark bream, which is very close in color and body shape, the tear spots under the eyes are smaller, the spines on the dorsal fin are longer, and the spots on the tail handle are more obvious, but these are the basis for judging, the actual discrimination is still very difficult, and some scholars and super players believe that there is no obvious difference between the two, it should be the same kind. In the aquatic world, since ancient times, these two kinds of improved varieties that have been relatives and raised in Europe and other places are likely to be the crystallization produced by mixed species.
