Archerfish
Also known as the 'Spray Gun Fish,' the archerfish is a classic brackish-water species commonly found in aquarium shops at affordable prices. Its distinctive bulging eyes allow it to see not only surface objects but also aerial targets above the waterline.
Hatchetfish
Also known as the Swallow Fish, Chest-Knife Fish, or Sternoptyx, the hatchetfish is a group of unusually shaped small freshwater fishes. Its body is extremely laterally compressed with a greatly protruding belly, giving it the silhouette of an ancient stone axe—hence the name.
Electric Blue Prince Cichlid
At least five geographic variants of the Electric Blue Prince exist, all native to Lake Malawi in East Africa. With its gentle temperament and ease of keeping alongside other community fish, this mbuna cichlid enjoys consistently positive reviews among hobbyists.
Uaru Cichlid
Also known as the Black Cloud fish, the Uaru cichlid is a species that becomes more beautiful with age. Juveniles are nearly black with white speckles, but once they exceed 10 cm in length, their appearance begins to transform dramatically—males develop more vivid coloration than females.
Clown Loach
Also known as the Crown Loach or simply 'Clown,' the clown loach can reach 30 cm in the wild but typically only grows to about 10–12 cm in an aquarium. With its gentle temperament, it should not be housed with aggressive species.
Toadfish
The toadfish shares the same body shape as the lionfish, with an enormous head that can account for up to one-third of its total body length. Also known as the freshwater lionfish, this species is remarkable for its ability to change body coloration to match its surroundings.
Eurasian Blackbird
The Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula) is Sweden's national bird. Males are entirely black except for a bright yellow eye-ring and bill, while females and juveniles wear brown plumage with a darker streaked throat.
Guinea Pig
The Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy, is a gentle South American rodent kept worldwide as a pet. It needs a roomy cage, a bottle, and — unlike many rodents — a diet with added vitamin C: grass hay, guinea-pig pellets, and fresh vegetables. Its teeth grow for life, so fibrous food is essential.
Chinese White Rabbit
The Chinese White Rabbit is China's oldest domestic rabbit — small, compact, and remarkably hardy, with red eyes only in the white form. A meat-type landrace that also makes a tough pet, it needs a wire-free cage, a ball-valve bottle, and a simple diet of pellets, alfalfa, timothy, and boiled water. Watch for coccidiosis.
Alexandrine Parakeet
The Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) is the largest parakeet in Asia — over 55 cm long, mostly green with a red beak and a gray-blue neck. Loved for its beauty, speech, and gentle nature, it needs a large cage, daily interaction to avoid feather-plucking, and fresh branches to chew. Captive-bred birds are easier to keep and breed.
