Common species of seabass

Diamond sea bass

Diamond grouper (also known as diamond blessed life) is a hybrid of Chau Kim Cuong male with Green Dragon female. The salient feature of diamond arowana is its impressive, round body, the vertical line of letters from the fish to the point of sharp tail on the blue, full body. They have the words printed on the body along the sides of the body, they are round covered with white beads, the fish head protruding the round bulge forward. The eyes are red, the face is slightly yellow.

Due to inbreeding to remove the head but ignore the defects, the diamond line today is almost degenerate: the majority of the tail is slumped, especially many flatfish, no more than 4 fingers.

The main color is bright red (the color makes them beautiful and colorful), the body is small, there are many glowing Europeans especially in the tail, the fins on the tail are always spreading to make them more flexible and gentle swimming.

Kingfisher king kamfa

Kamfa King is the most exotic and expensive variety of the breeds currently bred in Thailand due to some thick, light and spongy individual mutants. The common characteristic of Thai imported fishes like Red and Red Texas monkeys is that it is difficult to breed and grow long time.

Kingfisher king hybrid

This fish is often crossed between King Kamfa and Diamond drums. The 'king hybrid' lines in Vietnam are hybrid males with KKF, then select individuals with the most characteristics of KKF to cross-breed or cross-breed with their mother. But the rate of malformations is quite high due to blood congestion so they breed with female females.
