Chinese Paddlefish
The Chinese Paddlefish (Bai sturgeon) is the largest freshwater fish in China. Its very long, elephant-trunk-like snout gives it the common name 'Elephant-nose Fish'. It is a large, fierce fish mainly in the middle and lower Yangtze, also surviving in brackish estuaries and occasionally entering large lakes; it is a semi-anadromous migrant.
Angelicus Catfish
Also called the Starry Night, the Angelicus Catfish has a blue-purple body dotted with white spots like a star-filled night, hence the nickname. It is a top specimen of the genus Synodontis and a precious, much-sought variety.
Whitecheek Tang
Also called the Clown Tang or Gold-rim Tang, the Whitecheek Tang has a purple-blue body and a blue tail with yellow stripes, making it very attractive. Its care is moderately difficult and not for beginners; a tank of at least 300 liters is required.
Maroon Clownfish
The Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus), also called the Spine-cheek Clownfish, is a common clownfish native to coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Adults reach 10 to 15 cm and are marked by three silvery-white bands across the body. In the wild it forms a close, mutually dependent symbiosis with sea anemones.
Thompson’s Surgeonfish
Juvenile Thompson's Surgeonfish are blue-gray, and adults develop a white tail, but in both stages the species' most distinctive feature is a black spot on the back near the rear of the dorsal fin. Captive care requires a tank of at least 450 liters to give this active swimmer enough room.

The mosquitofish is mainly from the southern United States and northern Mexico and has spread into lowland waters south of the Yangtze. It feeds mainly on small invertebrates and mosquitoes, hence the name.
Saddle Valentini Puffer
The saddle Valentini puffer, also called the black-saddle puffer, lacks pelvic fins, but this does not stop it swimming freely in the tank. When startled, such as by a net, it inflates to protect itself.
