Unexpected facts about ornamental fish

All of the aquarium fish today do not exist in nature but are completely bred. Before becoming an elegant hobby, they were originally considered to be the main food for humans.

In the beginning, ornamental fish were not ornamental creatures, but to eat. Modern ornamental fish is a domesticated variant of the wild carp in East Asia.

The common carp ancestor of ornamental fish is silver-gray fish that are commonly eaten in China.

The most popular ornamental fish is still the goldfish. Goldfish are domesticated from the Universal crucian fish (Carassius gibelio) , a species of fish that is native to the indigenous dark gray brown color of Asia.

Goldfish were bred for the first time in China from more than 1000 years ago.

The most popular ornamental fish is still the goldfish.

Due to the selection of varieties, goldfish have developed into many different varieties and now have a variety of colors and patterns, with different shapes and sizes due to the original domesticated catfish.

In nature, such colors will make the fish easily discovered and caught by the enemy.

But in the ninth century, Chinese people, mainly Buddhist monks, began feeding them in ponds and lakes, where they were not eaten by other animals.

According to Buddhist tradition, people often make a ceremony to pray for good luck, especially for rare animals.

So, not eating unusual colored chi fish is becoming popular all over China. Instead, people drop them into ponds and lakes.

Unlike indoor animals, ornamental fish are always avoiding humans and do not eat food that is dropped.

Aquarium fish always avoid humans and do not eat foods that are dropped.

Once a certain amount of fish is available, farmers start breeding to produce fish of the desired color.

The breeding was started in 1163, at the aquarium of the Special Palace in Hangzhou City, China.

Breeding makes us today have about 250 different variants, described as "weird" and "monstrous".

These types of transformations do not benefit themselves, but also make it difficult for them to exist in their natural environment.

Many different types of ornamental fish are bred only to satisfy the purpose of humans.

Large, colorful big fins or tails can make us look good, but for them it's a disaster when the small body can't control such big parts.

Many different types of ornamental fish are bred only to satisfy the purpose of humans.

Some ornamental fish have a stronger vigor than others and they are actually pests.

A study from the UK showed that at least five different ornamental fishes are well adapted in ponds and lakes, which are yellow, yellow, brown, yellow and white (white, red, black or yellow) and lion head fish.

While they are originally from rivers in the eastern and central Asian regions, today we can see throughout Europe, South Africa, Madagascar, America and the islands of Oceania and the Caribbean.

This occurs because many people no longer want to farm and should be released into the natural environment or escape the nurturing environment or distribution facilities.

These fish can clean up the underwater plants due to voracious habits.

One study showed that they fluttered too much to make the mud muddy, making other creatures unable to find food.

Aquarium fish are said to be very easy to raise and train.

A 2001 study showed that ornamental fish eat eggs and larvae of long-legged salamanders.

Normally they do not eat eggs, but ornamental fish very quickly recognize and learn.

If another fish is found to eat eggs, they will begin to follow, and once a aquarium fish finds out, the aquarium community there will quickly imitate.

They can sense colors like humans, which even primates don't have. So they become the ideal animals for humans to study.
