1. Hook-scaled pufferfish. Also known as corrugated hook-scaled pufferfish, commonly known as yellow-banded shells, hook-plate machine puffers. It is a suborder Pleural, one of the family Lepidoptera. It is a warm-water fish found in the Indo-Pacific Region, stretching from the Red Sea and the east coast of Africa in the east, indonesia, New Caledonia and the Civil Islands in the west, Japan in the north, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in the south.
Hooked pufferfish usually inhabit coral reef areas and move alone or in small groups. Feeds on seaweed, invertebrates and small fish. Hook-scaled pufferfish are edible fish, but are rarely eaten, mostly as ornamental fish.
2. High-finned spiny tailfish. Also known as large sail upside down, high-fin spiny tail seabream, coarse-skinned fish. It is a tropical marine fish that lives in coral reef areas. High-finned spinytails are distributed in the coral reef area of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, including the Red Sea, the Sea of Japan to southeastern Australia, and the South China Sea has a high production rate and is a common fish in the coral reef area. They feed on organic debris and seaweed on the reef and are famous ornamental fish.
The high-finned spiny tailfish are omnivorous fish that prefer to eat algae, shrimp and crabs, polyps and so on. Camp group life is mostly found in the sea area with a water depth of 5 to 10 meters. The high-finned spinytail can be kept as an ornamental fish or eaten. The peeled high-finned spiny tail fish is cooked with ginger shredded soup, and the meat is delicious, which is also a delicious seafood soup.
3. Yellow high-finned spinytail. Found in the Hawaiian waters of the western Pacific Ocean, the yellow-high-finned spinytail is a locally known species with a high production that is mostly active in areas with abundant coral reefs, foraging for organic matter and seaweed on reefs.
Yellow-high-finned spinytails usually swim alone or in small groups among algae clusters. In their natural environment, they are not too picky about their living environment or food, and are typical omnivorous species. The yellow-tipped spinytail is one of the most popular ornamental species in aquariums. In an aquarium environment, the fish can eat the same food as other ornamental fish and is an easy breed to raise.
4. Ajiri. Spiny corfur is a collective name for a genus of fish in the genus Spiny fish in the family Cyprinidae. There are about thirty-five different species of known species. It is widely distributed in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Fish in the genus Spinojiri are hermaphrodites whose sex can change as individuals grow. The more representative species of the genus are: Kirin Fairy, Blacktail Fairy, Mint Fairy, Eight-Line Bride Fairy, and Golden-headed Fairy.
Black-tailed Immortal. Also known as the Red-Eyed Fairy. It is found in the eastern Indian Ocean from Christmas Island and Bali to the Marshall Islands and Vanuatu, north to southern Japan, and south to Lord Howe Island. Black-tailed immortals feed mainly on seaweed, but also prey on polyps and attachments. Females mature sexual transformation behavior first.
Mint Fairy. Also known as gentleman immortals, mint immortals. Mint fairy is a rare species of fish, and it is said that this fish can only catch a few fish per year in the world, or even none. There have been American fish fans who bought one for $30,000 and put the photo online for people to enjoy. In October 2003, at an auction, a Hong Kong fish fan won the only mint fairy for a high price of 130,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Eight-line bride fairy. It is also known as multi-banded spiny fish, multi-banded double saw-spike cover fish, eight-line fairy, and eleven fairy. It is found in the Indo-Pacific. Timid in nature but aggressive against other small fish species.
Golden-headed Immortal. It is found in the seas from Bermuda and Florida to Guyana, France, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Like all Species of the genus Spiny-Jiri, the gilt-headed fairy's juvenile and adult fish do not differ much in body color and pattern. The golden-headed immortal performs the sexual transformation behavior of the female first mature.
5. Gillfish. It belongs to the family of spiny fish, which is widely distributed in tropical and warm temperate waters around the world, and has many beautiful fish species, making it the most popular aquarium aquarium fish. Many species of capfish have distinctive colors and patterns during the juvenile stage and rely on these bright patterns to confuse the attacks of foreign predators or adult species.
The most obvious feature of the gill cap is 1 strong hard spine in the lower angle behind the anterior gill cap and the absence of axillary scales on the ventral fin. There are 74 species in 9 genera in the family Cyprinidae. There are 8 genera and 30 species distributed in China, which is the new force of the colorful tropical underwater world.
6. Round-spotted scaly pufferfish. Round-spotted scaly pufferfish generally refers to the spotted scaled pufferfish commonly known as the cannonball fish. It is found in the coastal waters from Indonesia to Australia, and is a common species in coral reef areas, swimming quickly, preying on small prey around coral reefs, and also eating worms and anemones on reef rocks.
The juveniles of the round-spotted scaly pufferfish are covered with spots, and when they become adults, the spots above the pectoral fin gradually disappear, and the eyes are hidden in the dark head. There is a light ribbon under the eyes that can mislead enemies for the eye area and avoid direct attacks on the eye area. When frightened and sleeping, they will use the dorsal fin and ventral fin belt to straighten and clamp the reef cave, increasing the difficulty of predatory predation. The flesh of the round-spotted scaly pufferfish contains toxins and is a non-edible fish.
VII. Angel Fish. Angel fish are also called swallow fish, small fin sailfish, angelfish and so on. It is a common name for several species of fairy fish. Angel fish is also a kind of cider, angel fish is brightly colored, beautiful posture is the representative fish of tropical fish. Its dorsal and ventral fins are long, very similar to the outstretched wings of angels, and are known as the "ornamental fish queen".
Angelfish and butterflyfish are very similar in appearance, the difference being that angelfish have spines on their gill caps, while butterflyfish do not.
VIII. Red Scorpion. It is a subtropical marine fish found in the eastern Atlantic Oceanopa from the British Isles to made in the madeirade, Canary Islands and the Mediterranean Sea.
It inhabits the sandy mud bottom and rocky bottom waters, and lives alone, feeding on crustaceans and fish.
IX. Mandarin Duck Shells. Forked-spotted file puffer, also known as Mandarin duck shell and Picasso shell, is a tropical marine fish that survives in coral reef areas. Native to the South China Sea in the Indo-Pacific Sea, the Philippines to the island of Michelonisia, the forked-spotted pufferfish is active around coral reefs, preying on small prey and nibbling on tiny organic matter on reefs. It can be used as an ornamental fish.
Mandarin duck shells are representative species of the genus Sturgeon and have a long history of being reared as ornamental fish. Most of the adult Mandarin duck shells in the trade are caught in the South China Sea, and some juveniles come from the Philippines. The oblique pattern on their bodies is beautiful in color, similar to the pattern on the mandarin duck, hence the name.
10. Butterflyfish. Butterflyfish generally refers to the collective name for all fish in the butterflyfish family of the order Perciformes. There are about 120 species in 12 genera, and there are about 57 species in 9 genera of butterflyfish in China. It is mainly distributed in the South China Sea, and only a few are found in the southern part of the East China Sea.
Butterflyfish mostly live in shallow waters within 20 meters, and are very typical daily fish, coming out during the day to feed and move, and only hide in the reef cave at night to rest.
Butterflyfish are usually camouflaged at the dorsal fin or behind the body, which disappear as they grow, and are intended to deceive predators into mistaking their tails for head attacks and gain access to escape.
11. Spiny tailfish. Spiny tailfish generally refers to the general name of the fish of the order Spiny tail fish under the order Perciformes. Fish in this family have one or more hard spines on the tail stalk, which are as sharp as a surgical scalpel, and the skin is easily cut and bleed when accidentally touched, hence the name.
It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical waters except the Mediterranean Sea. It is divided into the subfamily Spiny tailfish and the subfamily nasal fish, with a total of 82 species in 6 genera. It is distributed in the South China Sea in China, with about 28 species in 6 genera.
It mainly inhabits rocky reefs and coral reefs in coastal tidal pools, wave areas to tens of meters deep, and is one of the most prominent and abundant fish in shallow water coral reef areas. It is atrophizal, nocturnal shelter. The juveniles of this family of fish have a long floating period, and the long-term drifting makes the geographical distribution of the fish of this family extremely extensive.
Stingrays do not degenerate, and there is no difference in the appearance of males and females, so it is not easy to distinguish. It takes about 2 to 3 years for the spiny tail fish to mature from pups to maturity, and the lifespan can reach 20 to 30 years, which is far better than other herbivorous fish.
XII. Barramundi. Also known as barramundi, spout shell, belongs to the order Pufferfish, single-spiny puffer family, barramundi genus, is a type of tropical marine fish that survives in coral reef areas. Barramundi is found in the southern sea of Japan to northern Australia, where it is active in areas with abundant coral reefs, and its special mouth shape is conducive to foraging for prey in the crevices of the reef.
The barramundi has a special habit of swimming in a slightly oblique position above and below the head and tail. Barramundi prefer to live near coral reefs and feed on the bodies of polyps and hydras, which are difficult to raise in aquariums due to the particularity of the bait. Although the spiky shell grows very specially, it may not be suitable as an ornamental fish.
13. The stingray, also known as the small hard-jawed fish, is a hedgehog-like fish that lives in deep-sea coral reefs. It is about 90 cm long and is a close relative of the river fish, with a large air sac on the abdomen, a body full of hard spines, and mostly brown in color. Representative species are the white-bellied stingray and the brown-bellied stingray.
Stingrays are fish that live at the bottom of the ocean. Mainly hunting small fish and shrimp, when the stingray immediately rushes to the surface of the water when it encounters danger, opens its mouth to inhale air, so that the air bag is filled with gas, when the stingray becomes a stinging ball, the erected hard thorns can stab the predators or play a warning role, and its volume increase also makes some small predators unable to mouth, but if the gas in the body cannot be discharged in a short period of time, it will make the body over-inflated and die.
XIV. Scorpionfish. Also known as lionfish, it is a common name for the fish of the genus Scorpion in the family Cyprinidae. There are about 9 species, and 5 species are produced in China. It is found in the warm waters of the Indo-West Pacific Ocean and is a small marine fish. It inhabits rocky reefs or coral thickets, sometimes in deep water. They often swim in pairs, and when they encounter an enemy, they sprint sideways with dorsal fin spines. The fin spines of the scorpion have poisonous glands, and the person is in severe pain after being stabbed, and in severe cases, it is difficult to breathe, and even fainting.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have artificially developed a new species of scorpionfish that, when placed in water containing harmful substances, changes its color and reminds people that the water is polluted.
Fifteen, clownfish. Clownfish is a common name for the sea anemone fish subfamily of the family Snapper, named because it has one or two white stripes on its face, like a harlequin in Peking Opera, and is a tropical saltwater fish. There are 28 known species, one from the genus Spiny-cheeked snapper and the rest from the genus Diptera. Clownfish and sea anemones have an inseparable symbiotic relationship, so they are also called anemone fish.
Clownfish inhabit coral reefs and rocky reefs, and juvenile fish often coexist with large anemones, sea urchins or small coral tops. Clownfish have a special surface mucus on the surface of the body, which protects it from the influence of sea anemones and lives safely in it. Because of the protection of the anemone, the clownfish are protected from the attacks of other large fish, and the leftover food of the anemone can also be supplied to the clownfish, and the clownfish can also use the anemone's tentacle bushes to safely build nests and spawn.
Clownfish are hermaphrodites, but they are one of the few species in which males can become females, and females cannot become males. Each clownfish population has a dominant female and several adult males, the latter of whom are hermaphrodites in their youth. If a dominant female dies, one of the adult males will undergo hormonal changes, transforming into the new female in that population.
