Colorful small fish. The mind is spinning happily
Ever since we got into the aquarium scene we’ve been on the lookout for different kinds of colorful freshwater fish. There are so many amazing-looking species out there!
But while the vast number of options is definitely a good thing, if you’re shopping around it can make choosing between them a bit difficult.
Just when you think you’re ready to make a decision, you discover another pretty fish that tempts you into rethinking everything. This can get tiresome after a while.
Then when you add in the level of difficulty and required care, it can get even more confusing.
That’s why we put together this list of our favorite colorful freshwater fish to help you out. It includes a wide range of beautiful species, so there’s something for everyone!We’re starting off our list of colorful freshwater fish with the Peacock Cichlid. This species is absolutely gorgeous and will stand out in any tank.
One of the things we like most about this fish is the number of different kinds there are. This gives you the flexibility of choosing between a variety of different colors. Some are blue, some are bright yellow, and some come in a wide range of reds.
These fish come from the massive Lake Malawi (the ninth-largest lake in the world), and their color will vary based on what area of the lake they live in. Our personal favorite is the strawberry type, but they’re all super pretty!
Unlike some other cichlids, the Peacock is pretty easy to take care of. We recommend them to aquarists who want a colorful fish without much hassle.
