Aquarium Fish Types in India

India has over 200 types of aquarium fish, including both native and exotic species like guppies, tetras, cichlids, and goldfish.

You might suspect your fish is sick if you notice changes in behaviour, such as lethargy or erratic swimming, or physical signs like discoloration, spots, bloating, or fin damage.

Saltwater fish live in oceans and seas, while freshwater fish live in rivers, lakes, and streams. Saltwater fish require saline environments, whereas freshwater fish need low-salinity water. Additionally, they differ in species variety, care requirements, and habitat conditions.

Essential aquarium equipment includes a tank, filter, heater, lighting, substrate, water conditioner, thermometer, and fish food. Optional items include an air pump, gravel vacuum, and lid for the tank.
