What is it?
Tropical fish are fish that live in warm water, usually between 20°C and 30°C. They are found in tropical regions around the world. Many are colorful and have interesting shapes. Some are freshwater fish, like the ones in the aquarium you saw, and others live in the ocean. They are popular in home aquariums because of their bright colors. Tropical fish often live in groups and have specific diets. The fish you saw are likely cichlids, a family of tropical freshwater fish known for their diverse colors and behaviors.
Why it matters
Tropical fish are important for the health of rivers and lakes. They eat insects and plants, and bigger animals eat them. Many tropical fish are threatened by habitat loss and pollution. Studying them helps us protect their ecosystems.

为什么重要
热带鱼对河流和湖泊的健康很重要。它们吃昆虫和植物，更大的动物吃它们。许多热带鱼因栖息地丧失和污染而受到威胁。研究它们有助于我们保护它们的生态系统。
