The Three Spot Angelfish likes freshwater and belongs to the Holacanthus Trimaculatus family of fish. These fish are probably one of the best looking tropical fish that you can find. Their body is golden yellow and it has lips colored dark blue. The origin of this fish is the Indian or the West Pacific ocean. Their shape is a bit like the butterfly fish. Blue is also the color of the fish’s throat. Two patches on the upper side that are darker give this fish the name it has.
The internal part of the anal fin is white, while the outer area is colored black. The maximum length of the fish is 25cm (10 inches). They should be kept in conditions similar to those used for Butterfly fish. They will eat larvae, plants and small creatures. They can be kept in community aquariums with other types of fish, but it would be better if they were on their own.
The Pajama Cardinal Fish is part of the Sphaeramia Nematoptera family. They can be found usually in the Indo-Australian and China seas. They can be found in areas that are a bit shaded and the water temperature should vary between 75 and 80F. The pH level should be 8 for the water inside the tank and the lighting shouldn’t be too bright.
Make sure you decorate the aquarium so the fish has plenty of places to hide. They enjoy feeding on crustaceans, small fish and plankton. They are aggressive and predatory.

They have large heads and a dorsal that is quite distinctive looking, with big eyes and mouth. They look like yellow/brown fish, but they also have other colors on their body, like brown and orange.
