These fish often exhibit vibrant colors and diverse shapes, adapted to various habitats like dense vegetation, rocky shores, or muddy bottoms. They are popular in home aquariums due to their beauty and variety. Keeping them requires maintaining stable warm water conditions, proper filtration, and appropriate nutrition.
