Most Viewed Aquarium Fish Online in Singapore: FishyHub Marketplace Data
The aquarium fish Singapore shoppers look at and save most on FishyHub are guppies, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, loaches, algae eaters and plecos, together with channa (snakeheads), which draw very high interest despite their collector-tier prices. FishyHub does not publish page views, so this picture comes from wishlists, likes, "my tank" saves, searches and Feed videos. Comparing that attention with purchases shows which fish are admired and which are actually bought.
Key Findings
- FishyHub data shows guppies, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, loaches, algae eaters and plecos sit in the very high buyer-interest tier in Singapore.
- FishyHub data shows channa draw very high buyer interest in Singapore but only moderate purchases, making them the clearest case of a fish admired more than it is bought.
- FishyHub data shows dumbo and halfmoon plakat bettas attract high buyer interest in Singapore while purchases stay moderate.
- FishyHub data shows koi in Singapore are bought at a very high level, ahead of the interest they draw online, a sign that pond keepers buy with a clear plan.
- FishyHub search data shows arowana, betta, channa, flowerhorn, guppy and pleco are among the terms shoppers search for most, across FishyHub's Singapore and US markets combined.
- FishyHub Feed data shows non-fish aquatic pets, filed under "other animals", appear at a very high level in the marketplace's short videos.
- FishyHub data shows arowana is a very high search term, yet arowana listings and buyer interest in Singapore are limited.
Measuring Attention Without Page Views
FishyHub tracks deliberate actions rather than raw views: a wishlist entry, a like, or a "my tank" save when a keeper records a fish they own. These show genuine interest in a specific fish. Searches show what shoppers come looking for, and FishyHub Feed shows what keepers and sellers choose to film.
The Very High Interest Tier
These fish sit in the very high buyer-interest tier on FishyHub in Singapore (alphabetically), with their purchase tier for comparison:
| Group | Buyer interest | Purchases |
|---|---|---|
| Algae eaters | Very high | Very high |
| Channa | Very high | Moderate |
| Corydoras | Very high | Very high |
| Guppies | Very high | Very high |
| Loaches | Very high | Very high |
| Plecos | Very high | High |
| Rasboras | Very high | Very high |
| Tetras | Very high | Very high |
Neocaridina shrimp and snails also sit in the very high interest tier, and so do aquarium plants, reflecting how many Singapore keepers browse for planted nano tanks.
For most of these, attention and buying move together: shoppers save a fish, then buy it. The exceptions are more interesting.
Admired More Than Bought
Channa
Channa, or snakeheads, have become a cult fish in Singapore's hobby. Species such as Channa andrao, aurantimaculata and barca are prized for their colour and their bold, intelligent behaviour, and "channa andrao", "channa auranti" and "toman" all appear in FishyHub's search data. On FishyHub, channa have very high supply and very high interest, yet purchases are only moderate. They sit in the collector / premium tier and most need a tank of their own, so many shoppers save and study them long before committing.
Bettas
Dumbo bettas, with their oversized pectoral fins, draw high interest but moderate purchases, and so do halfmoon plakats. Bettas photograph beautifully, and shoppers in Singapore are spoilt for choice from local breeders, so many save several fish before picking one. Supply runs ahead of demand for both varieties, which gives buyers time to decide.
Plecos and monster fish
Plecos sit in the very high interest tier with high purchases. Zebra, gold nugget and other patterned species are admired for their looks, and the upper mid-range price tier means many are considered for a while before buying. The monster fish category as a whole also draws high interest with moderate purchases.
Bought More Than Browsed
Koi go the other way: very high purchases, high interest. Ryukin goldfish, killifish and minnows also have high purchases with only moderate interest. These are buyers who know what they want - a pond owner restocking, a goldfish keeper adding a matching fish, a nano-tank keeper buying a group of white cloud minnows - and they buy without long browsing.
What Singapore Searches For
FishyHub's search data covers its Singapore and US markets together. The very high search tier includes (alphabetically) angelfish, arowana, barb, betta, bichir, catfish, channa, crab, discus, eel, flowerhorn, gar, gourami, guppy, koi, molly, oscar, pleco, puffer, shrimp, snail, tank, tetra and turtle.
The arowana gap
Arowana is a very high search term, yet in Singapore arowana listings are limited and buyer interest is limited too. Asian arowanas carry cultural meaning as symbols of good fortune, and most are bought through specialist breeders with certificates and microchips, so many searches are likely research rather than shopping. Silver arowanas, in the upper mid-range tier, have moderate supply and rising activity.
Flowerhorn and turtles
Flowerhorn is another very high search term, a fish closely associated with Singapore and the region. On FishyHub, flowerhorns sit in the collector / premium tier with moderate interest and supply ahead of demand. Turtles show the reverse: a very high search term with high interest and high purchases.
What FishyHub Feed Shows
On FishyHub Feed, "other animals" sits in the very high tier - aquatic pets beyond fish, with axolotls, frogs and hermit crabs among related search terms. Scorpion fish also appear regularly. Animals that walk, hunt or interact on camera make compelling short videos, so Feed favours them over schooling fish that look best in person.
Methodology
This page is based on FishyHub marketplace activity in Singapore over the period from October 2024 to October 2026. We looked at wishlists, likes and "my tank" saves, completed orders, active listings and price tiers, search terms and FishyHub Feed categories. Search terms and Feed categories cover FishyHub's Singapore and US markets together. All findings are reported as tiers, not figures.
FishyHub does not report raw page views. The data covers fish listed by independent merchants on FishyHub and does not measure attention on other websites or social media.
