Welcome back to Wild but True, and today
0:02
we're going to talk about freshwater
0:04
fish. The world of freshwater fish is
0:06
amazingly diverse, full of beautiful,
0:09
fascinating creatures from tiny colorful
0:11
beauties to larger, graceful fish.
0:14
Whether you're looking for a colorful
0:15
centerpiece for your aquarium or a
0:17
peaceful schooling fish, there are many
0:19
options to choose from. Let's take a
0:21
look at some of the most amazing
0:23
freshwater fish you must see to believe.
0:26
Beta fish or Siamese fighting fish? Beta
0:29
fish are known for their beautiful
0:31
flowing fins and vibrant colors, ranging
0:34
from bright red to deep blue and
0:36
everything in between. These hearty fish
0:39
can live in small tanks, making them a
0:42
popular choice for beginners. However,
0:45
they are known for their aggressive
0:47
behavior towards other betettas, so it's
0:49
best to keep them alone. Despite their
0:51
sometimes aggressive nature, beta fish
0:54
are intelligent creatures who can be
0:55
trained to recognize their owners and
0:57
even come when called. Their unique
1:00
labyrinth organ allows them to draw
1:02
oxygen from the atmosphere so they don't
1:04
require a filter or frequent water
1:05
changes. Just make sure to provide
1:07
plenty of hiding places in their tank to
1:10
reduce stress and keep them happy and
1:12
healthy. No. Seven. Goldfish. Common
1:16
comet fantail oronda ranchu. Goldfish
1:20
are a classic choice for pet fish. Known
1:22
for their beautiful colors and graceful
1:24
movements, these long- livingiving fish
1:26
can grow quite large, so be sure to get
1:28
a tank big enough for them. While
1:30
goldfish may seem like an easy choice
1:32
for beginners, they actually need more
1:35
care than many people realize. They
1:37
produce a lot of waste and need regular
1:39
water changes, as well as a filter to
1:41
keep the water clean. With proper care,
1:44
goldfish can live for many years and
1:46
bring years of enjoyment to their
1:47
owners. Some common varieties include
1:50
common goldfish, which have a rounded
1:52
body and a single tail fin. Comet
1:55
goldfish, which have a streamlined body
1:57
and a fork tail fin. Fan tail goldfish,
2:00
which have a double tail fin that
2:01
resembles a fan. Randa goldfish, which
2:03
have a telescope eye and a lump on the
2:05
top of their head. And the ranch

a fish that will bring some life to your
2:26
aquarium, the guppy is a great choice.

element to any tank, and their small
