The Chocolate Red Pompom Oranda Goldfish is a classic aquarium choice for the beginner or young aquarist. It is also a revered carp by many long-time hobbyists.

Herichthys carpintis, the electric blue Carpintis is a new world Cichlidae of a few common names. They include the lowland cichlid, Aztec Carpintis, Pearlscale cichlid and is often mislabeled or confused with other cichlids such as the Texas cichlid (H.Cyanoguttatus).
