Incredible Fish...!

The betta, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, has become a popular fish among hobbyists primarily because of the male’s beautiful colors and lavish finnage. More than one female can be kept in a peaceful community setting, as long as there are no fin-nipping fishes, such as some of the characins and barbs.
Cichlids are mainly freshwater tropical fish from the family Cichlidae. They are found around the world, but members of this family that are most often encountered in the aquarium hobby come from either South America (including larger specimens, such as the discus, oscar and Jack Dempsey) or Africa (generally smaller, attractively colored fish from Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi.
Neolamprologus brichardi is called brichardi cichlid, princess of Burundi and fairy cichlid. This moderately aggressive pale brown cichlid is elongate and has clearly defined scales. A yellow spot and a patch follow the gill cover, and this species has small yellow scales on the caudal peduncle. The lyre tail and some of the extended fins have blue and white edges. Males have more extensive fins than females.
Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bonyor cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. Turtle may refer to the chelonian order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling chelonians (British English).
The order Chelonii or Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 220 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards, snakes or crocodiles. Of the manyspecies alive today, some are highly endangered.
