Cyprinids
Many cyprinids hail from the South East portion of Asia, most common among them the Goldfish. All minnows are also part of this group. Most can tolerate varying water conditions and are quite hardy with few exceptions. Many of them are also quite temperamental, so tank mates should be chosen with caution.
