Freshwater Fish Breeds
To keep your fresh water fish breeds unharmed and healthy you are supposed to clean your tank well on a regular basis. The following are some freshwater fish breeds that can be your ideal pet if you are well aware of the steps of taking care of them efficiently. Some Freshwater Fish Breeds Goodeid Fish – The fish is also known as Butterfly Goodeid. The scientific name of the fish is Ameca splendens.

The embryos are comparatively large in size and some of them may turn out to be fin nibblers. So, if you prefer to keep a community tank you should rather drop the idea of keeping Goodeid fish as pet. This fish has a very unique process of reproducing young ones. The fish can eat up any food suitable for fish diet. But vegetables as their regular diet are preferable. American Flagfish – The American flag fish is scientifically known as Jordanella fondue.

These fish can live up to the temperature ranging from 19 to 25 degree. The fish can have all types of food but it should be given vegetable components on a regular basis.

The parental care is taken up by the male fish. Bronze Catfish – The bronze cat fish is also known as Bronze Corydoras and its scientific name is Corydoras Latus. This fish prefers slightly alkaline water. This tropical fish can tolerate the temperatures of the upper end of the cold waters. The eggs of this fish are highly adhesive in nature and the female fish carries the eggs for quite sometime in their cup pelvic fins. As the eggs get bit matured the fish lays them either on rock surface or plant surfaces. The fish is quite natured and stays in shoal. The temperature between 18 and 26 degree Celsius is the ideal environment for the fish to survive. Dwarf Gourami – The scientific name of Dwarf Gourami is Colisa. The fish thrives best in tropical climate. The male fish takes care of the young embryo. The fish survives in the temperature range of 24-28 degree Celsius.
