Flowerhorn Cichlid

罗汉鱼，也称花罗汉、慈鲷，是一种淡水观赏鱼，属于鲈形目鱼类。是人工培养的鱼，这种人工培养的友好鱼特别能认出主人/看护者的脸。它的名字由此而来，“水族馆里的狗”。
The flowerhorn cichlid is a colorful and exotic freshwater species. The artificially created friendly fish can especially recognize the face of its owner/caretaker. It led to its name, “the dogs of the aquarium hobby.”

The first instances of this occurred in Thailand, Taiwan, and Malaysia. Over time the interest in this fish spread to other parts of Asia, Central America, and eventually the United States and Europe.

Any flowerhorn cichlids that can be found in the wild are not meant to be there. They’re fish that have been released by people into the wild and have quickly become an invasive species in a number of countries.

最早发现泰国、台湾和马来西亚。随着时间的推移，对这种鱼的兴趣传到了亚洲其他地区、中美洲，最终传到了美国和欧洲。

花角慈鲷不应该在野外被发现，都它们是被人类放归野外的鱼，在许多国家迅速成为入侵物种。
