India has enormous potential for producing ornamental fish, because of its abundance in species diversity. Favourable climatic conditions, and accessibility of low-cost labour. In India, ornamental fish farming is primarily practice in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal.

There are two types of ornamental species: native and foreign. The abundance of native species has made it possible for the country's ornamental fish sector to grow dramatically. North-eastern states, West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are loaded with potential indigenous species. 90% of native species are harvested and raised for export (85% are from northeast India). Currently, fish from almost 100 native species are raised for aquariums. Because of their unique colours, shapes and exotic species are also in high demand.
