Parrot fish
The parrotfish has a jaw shaped like a bird's beak. She gnaws coral reefs with her mouth.
These fish come in both aquarium and large specimens that grow up to two meters in length. They come in different colors - mostly bright tropical shades predominate.
Mandarin duck / Synchiropus splendidus
The small and colorful inhabitant of the oceans got its name due to its resemblance to the bright clothes of the Chinese mandarin.
The colorfully patterned fish lives close to coral reefs, preferring sheltered, calm lagoons and coastal reefs.
Because of their beauty, tangerines are also popular as aquarium fish, but keeping them in aquariums is quite difficult, since it is difficult for them to choose food. The mandarin duck is rightfully one of the most beautiful inhabitants of the seas and oceans. In addition, it is included in our rating of the most beautiful animals on the planet.

Discus. Symphysodon
From the waters of the Amazon River basin, the beautiful fish spread throughout the world and became popular in aquarium fish farming. The design has nine vertical stripes on the body, which is round and flattened on the sides.
Prefers small rivers and calm ponds, avoiding large currents. Discus fish feed mainly on insect larvae and freshwater shrimp.
Fish care
Maintenance is not difficult. Change the water in a timely manner, clearing the bottom of food residues. It is necessary to feed the inhabitants of aquariums with a variety of types of food. Food is produced dry and frozen, in the form of flakes and chips, as well as granules and sticks, high quality and balanced in minerals and vitamins. And the names of the food are tricky: gammarus, brine shrimp, daphnia, cyclops - cats will simply be jealous.

In large glass volumes, it is necessary to turn on mini-compressors to saturate the water with oxygen.

Another option is to make the accordion a bright multi-colored one; to do this, you can stick colored strips onto the main sheet and then fold it into an accordion. Or first fold the accordions and then glue one on top of the other.

Sick - healthy
There are only two problems with fish - domestic cats and diseases. It’s easier to protect from cats, but diseases can be brought in with fish and aquatic plants. It is better to keep newcomers in quarantine for some time, and release them into the general fish stock only after making sure that they have been cleared of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Diseases are divided into contagious and non-contagious. There are much more of the first – infectious and invasive. The latter occur from poor food and changes in water temperature. There are types of fish that are warm- and cold-loving; it is undesirable to keep them in the same volume.
View photos of aquarium fish diseases to quickly recognize them and remove them from healthy ones. And also carry out preventive measures in consultation with a veterinarian.
Just one example of a disease that affects different breeds of fish is fin rot. The disease indicates an unhealthy situation in the water, and it is necessary to improve the care and feeding of pets.
If you see that the fins are affected from all sides, transplant the fish into another container, arrange medicinal baths, and disinfect the aquarium, stones and equipment and do this regularly. If the fins are severely damaged, medications must be used. Treat plants with bicilin-5.
Lionfish / Pterois radiata
A beautiful fish from the scorpionfish family can pose a threat to humans. And the inhabitant of the deep sea received this name because of its fins, which, when developing, resemble the mane of a lion.
The lion fish hunts, driving small fish into recesses or among reefs, and swallows them with great speed. Injections from sharp fins, which contain toxic poison, are dangerous to human life and health.
By the way, on most-beauty.ru you can also learn about the most poisonous fish on our planet.

Craft Hungry paper fish
It's time for humor and fun when we work on children's crafts with our little ones! Moreover, such a drawing, which we will now try to make together, is also an excellent toy!
A sheet of A4 paper needs to be folded in three places so that it looks like the letter “M” from the side. That is, we bend it in half.
Then cut in half again.
And we reveal it.
We connect one “top” of the letter “M” to the other.
Turn the sheet of paper over so that the fold is horizontal.
Let's draw a fish.
It is necessary that the connecting points of the upper part of the fish and its lower part converge at the place where the paper folds.
We finish drawing all the minor details: eyes, scales, fins, etc.
We move the fold apart and in the place between the upper part of the fish and the lower one we finish drawing everything so that the parts are connected.
We paint the whole picture, even the part that is hidden. By the way, you can draw a cute worm or fish in the fold.
We fold the drawing so that a simple fish is visible, swimming carefree in the water.
Now, if you want to surprise someone, open the sheet and show it. How hungry is your fish?
P.S. If you remember, I don’t welcome a huge number of monsters in the apartment, but it still turns out that children are attracted to them. Here is the result - my son picked up the idea and produced a kolobok...
