Categories of Ornamental Fish Species
·
There are mainly two categories of
Ornamental fish are being marketed.
·
They are exotic Ornamental fish and
native fish of India. Exotic Ornamental fish dominate the domestic market.
·
Based on availability, and climatic
conditions the Ornamental fish farmers are engaged in breeding common exotic
livebearers and egg layers.
·
Then, the egg layers lay sticky or
non-sticky eggs on the glass wall or other substrates. Some parents show parental care and some
destroy their eggs so different breeding setups are required.
·
Livebearers release young in batches and
are very easy to breed. The breeding and culture of only low (Guppy, Platy,
Molly, Widow Tetra, Rosy barb, and Koi carps) and medium value (Goldfish,
Gouramies, and Angels, etc.) fishes are practiced in the country.
