tropical fish species
Warm-water marine life
Tropical fish species are types of fish native to warm waters near the equator, typically kept in heated aquariums.
The phrase appears in pet store signage, hobbyist forums, and conservation discussions: The store carries over fifty tropical fish species.
Common examples include tetras, guppies, angelfish, and cichlids.
The term distinguishes these from coldwater species like goldfish or koi.
