Species lookup
Fish species lookup
Search for any aquarium fish to see its ideal water parameters — temperature, pH, hardness, max size, and tank requirements. Data from FishBase.
Type the full common name for best results (e.g. "cardinal tetra" not "cardinal") · Scientific names also work · Data from FishBase.org
About this tool
This lookup queries FishBase, the authoritative scientific database of fish biology, and returns key parameters useful for aquarium keeping — ideal water temperature, pH and hardness, maximum adult size, and the minimum tank length recommended.
Results are cached to keep lookups fast and to avoid unnecessary load on FishBase servers.
For full species profiles including photos, synonyms, and distribution maps, follow the "View on FishBase" link in the species card.
If a parameter shows "—" it means FishBase does not have recorded data for that species.
