There are around 1900 species of characins worldwide. In this video, qualified biologist Heiko Blessin shows aquarists like us everything we need to know about successfully keeping characins and how the species found in aquariums differ. As characins are very different, it is interesting to take a closer look at the differences and similarities. Investigations and observations in tropical biotopes are also drawn on.
