Next one is a little more common than usual-- it's just that at the time of making it, I had never made a profile on a fish of its family and just thought of this one quickly bc I figured I needed to

Zebra Pike Cichlid
Crenicichla zebrina
Size: 15"
pH: 6.5-7.5
Tank size: 125G/Individual
Country of origin: Venezuela
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Aggressive, may tolerate similarly-sized fish
Temperature: 75-85° F
Description
Crenicichla zebrina is a very rare, though increasingly popular pike cichlid exclusive to Venezuela’s Ventuari River, the largest tributary of the Orinoco. These fish are rather aggressive among their conspecifics, though can be kept successfully with many similarly-sized and larger fish, including those that it encounters in the wild, such as Pomatotrygon stingrays.

I generally don’t care too much for pike cichlids, but this is one of the few exceptions. Definitely something that would be cool to have…but so expensive.

Canarensis Hill Trout
Barilius canarensis
Size: 5”
pH: 7.0-7.5
Tank size: 45G/1 small group
Country of origin: India
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful, may potentially eat tiny tankmates
Temperature: 70-75° F
Description
Despite its name, Barilius canarensis is not a trout at all, but rather a form of cyprinid, closer to carp, minnows, and barbs. These fish are similar in many ways to true minnows and barbs. Despite their peaceful nature, it can be assumed that due to their size, these fish may consume exceptionally small tankmates if improperly fed.

In my area there are fishes similar like this one in mountain streams. We fish them by egg yolk mix with wheat. They're very beautiful
