Top 10 - The most beautiful fish

I share this compilation of videos of the most beautiful fish. This this count is under my criterie, if you know of any other fish that deserves to be in the top 10, do not hesitate to comment.

The information of each fish was taken from Wikipedia:

10. LionFish or Pterois: es un género de peces marinos venenosos encontrados principalmente en el Indo-Pacífico. Los peces del género Pterois tienen un par de aletas en forma de abanico en las aletas pectorales y una punzante primera aleta dorsal. Estas aletas dan al pescado la impresión de melena del león, lo que le da al pez león su nombre común. La forma y la coloración de su cuerpo le proporcionará la capacidad para mezclarse con el entorno, que normalmente se llama camuflaje.

9. Parrotfishes: are a group of marine species found in relatively shallow tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. With about 95 species, this group displays its largest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. They are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts, and seagrass beds, and can play a significant role in bioerosion.

8. Seahorse: (also written sea-horse and sea horse) is the name given to 45 species of small marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. "Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek hippokampos (ἱππόκαμπος hippókampos), itself from hippos (ἵππος híppos) meaning "horse" and kampos (κάμπος kámpos) meaning "sea monster". Having a head and neck suggestive of a horse, seahorses also feature segmented bony armour, an upright posture and a curled prehensile tail.

7. Angelfish: Pterophyllum es un pequeño género de peces de agua dulce de la familia Cichlidae conocida por la mayoría de los acuaristas como Angelfish . Todas lasespecies de Pterophyllum se originan en la cuenca del Amazonas , la cuenca del Orinoco y varios ríos en el Escudo Guayanés en América del Sur tropical. Las tres especies de Pterophyllum tienen una forma inusual para los cíclidos.siendo muy comprimido lateralmente, con cuerpos redondos y aletas triangulares y dorsales alargadas triangulares. Esta forma del cuerpo les permite esconderse entre raíces y plantas, a menudo en una superficie vertical. El pez ángel natural se raya con frecuencia longitudinalmente, coloración que proporciona camuflaje adicional . Los peces ángel son depredadores de emboscada y se aprovechan de peces pequeños y macroinvertebrados . Todas las especies de Pterophyllum forman pares monógamos . Los huevos generalmente se ponen sobre un tronco sumergido o una hoja aplanada. Como es el caso de otros cíclidos, el cuidado de la cría está altamente desarrollado.

6. Moorish Idol: is a marine fish species, the sole extant representative of the family Zanclidae (from the Greek ζαγκίος, zagkios, "oblique") in order Perciformes. A common inhabitant of tropical to subtropical reefs and lagoons, the Moorish idol is notable for its wide distribution throughout the Indo-Pacific. A number of butterflyfishes (genus Heniochus) closely resemble the Moorish idol. It is closely related to, if not a direct descendant of, the extinct Eozanclus brevirostris, from the Middle Eocene of Monte Bolca.

5. Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. Thirty species are recognized: one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild, they all form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones. Depending on species, anemonefish are overall yellow, orange, or a reddish or blackish color, and many show white bars or patches. The largest can reach a length of 15–16 cm (5.9–6.3 in), while the smallest barely achieve 7–8 cm (2.8–3.1 in).

4. Betta Fish: The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), also known as the betta, is a popular fish in the aquarium trade. Bettas are a member of the gourami family and are known to be highly territorial. Males in particular are prone to high levels of aggression and will attack each other if housed in the same tank. If there is no means of escape, this will usually result in the death of one or both of the fish. Female bettas can also become territorial towards each other if they are housed in too small an aquarium. It is typically not recommended to keep male and female bettas together, except temporarily for breeding purposes which should always be undertaken with caution.
