Ornamental Fishes

Abstract

Ornamental fishes usually mean attractive colourful fishes of various characteristics, which are kept as pets in confined space of an aquarium or a garden pool for fun and fancy. Ornamental fishes are usually kept in glass aquarium and hence popularly known as ‘’Aquarium Fishes’’.
