Descripción
The Cyprinidae family is the largest group of freshwater fishes, including carps, barbs, danios, and many other genera. They are known for their diversity in size, color, and behavior. Typically, they lack oral teeth but possess pharyngeal teeth to grind food. They inhabit rivers, lakes, and streams across most continents, except Oceania and South America. They are highly valued in aquariums for their adaptability, resilience, and the wide range of species suitable for both community tanks and ponds.
