An Introduction to Ornamental Fish

Ornamental fish are species kept primarily for decorative purposes in aquariums, aquascapes, or garden ponds. They not only bring vibrant beauty to living spaces but also help reduce stress, providing a sense of relaxation and mental balance.
1. Diverse Species

Today, there are thousands of ornamental fish species around the world, ranging from freshwater fish like:

Guppies, neon tetras, bettas (Siamese fighting fish), goldfish
to saltwater species such as:

Clownfish (Nemo), angelfish, emperor fish...

Each species has its own unique colors, shapes, and characteristics, suitable for various preferences and care levels.
2. Living Environment

Ornamental fish require a clean water environment with proper filtration, heating (if needed), oxygen supply, and adequate lighting. A planted aquascape with rocks, substrates, and hiding spots allows the fish to thrive in a more natural setting.
3. Feng Shui Significance

Many people raise ornamental fish not only as a hobby but also for feng shui purposes – bringing luck, prosperity, and wealth. A well-placed fish tank is believed to enhance positive energy in homes or workplaces.
4. Mental Benefits

Watching fish swim calmly in the tank can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and even improve mood during difficult times. That’s why aquariums are often seen in offices, restaurants, and even hospitals.
