Home›Fish›Diet›OmnivoreBrowse ByOmnivoreDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsOmnivoreSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1OmnivoreFilter Results53 entriesCommon GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Carp And Minnows (Cypriniformes) (7)Catfish (Siluriformes) (4)Cichlids, Anemonefish And Damselfish (26)Eels (Anguilliformes) (3)Other Bony Fish (8)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (2)Salmon And Trout (Salmoniformes) (2)Everyday GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Carp And Minnows (Cypriniformes) (7)Catfish (Siluriformes) (4)Cichlids, Anemonefish And Damselfish (26)Eels (Anguilliformes) (3)Other Bony Fish (8)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (2)Salmon And Trout (Salmoniformes) (2)HabitatAllCoral Reef (10)Desert (1)Estuary (1)Flooded Grassland and Savanna (1)Freshwater (12)Lake (6)Marine (15)River (13)Where It LivesAllAfghanistan (2)Africa (4)Albania (3)Algeria (4)Angola (3)Antigua and Barbuda (3)Argentina (6)Armenia (3)Australia (15)Austria (3)Bahamas (2)Bahrain (2)Bangladesh (5)Barbados (3)Belarus (4)Belgium (6)Benin (2)Bhutan (3)Bolivia (5)Bosnia and Herzegovina (3)Botswana (2)Brazil (12)Bulgaria (5)Burundi (3)Cabo Verde (3)Cambodia (3)Canada (8)Chile (5)China (19)Colombia (9)Costa Rica (4)Cote d'Ivoire (4)Cuba (6)Cyprus (4)Czechia (4)Democratic Republic of the Congo (4)Denmark (3)Dominica (2)Dominican Republic (4)Egypt (3)El Salvador (2)Eritrea (2)Estonia (3)Ethiopia (2)Federated States of Micronesia (2)Fiji (3)Finland (2)France (7)Gabon (2)Germany (5)Greece (3)Guatemala (4)Guyana (2)Haiti (2)Honduras (3)Hungary (2)India (6)Indonesia (7)Iran (4)Ireland (2)Israel (2)Italy (6)Jamaica (2)Japan (8)Kenya (11)Laos (3)Lithuania (2)Madagascar (6)Malaysia (4)Mauritius (6)Mexico (10)Mongolia (3)Morocco (2)Mozambique (6)Myanmar (2)Netherlands (2)New Zealand (2)North America (12)Norway (3)Panama (3)Papua New Guinea (2)Paraguay (3)Peru (6)Philippines (8)Poland (2)Portugal (4)Republic of the Congo (3)Russia (2)Seychelles (3)South Africa (7)South America (4)South Korea (3)Spain (8)Sri Lanka (3)Tanzania (4)Thailand (3)United Arab Emirates (3)United Kingdom (5)United States (11)Vietnam (4)Showing the 100 most common of 163 options.Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (1)Data Deficient (1)Endangered (1)Extinct (1)Least Concern (35)Not Evaluated (1)Vulnerable (6)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (27)Marine (27)Terrestrial and Freshwater (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (53)ThreatsAllInvasive and Other Problematic Species, Genes and Diseases (2)Relationship to PeopleAllFarmed or Commercially Raised (5)Hunted or Fished (24)Invasive or Introduced Species (7)Kept as Pets (33)CITES AppendixAllAppendix I (1)Appendix II (1)Not Listed (44)NatureServe RankAllG1 Critically Imperiled (2)G5 Secure (10)GNR Unranked (1)GX Presumed Extinct (1)EcosystemAllAmazon Rainforest (1)Caspian Sea (2)Chagos Archipelago (1)Coral Reef Systems (12)Coral Sea (1)Coral Triangle (2)Great Barrier Reef (6)Great Lakes (2)Lake Tanganyika (1)Mojave Desert (1)Sahel (2)TaxonomyAllAmphiprion (18)Astronotus (1)Beloniformes (1)Carassius (1)Characiformes (2)Cichlidae (4)Clarias (1)Cyprinidae (3)Cyprinodontiformes (2)Cyprinus (1)Danio (1)Lepomis (1)Oreochromis (1)Osmeriformes (1)Perciformes (2)Rutilus (1)Salmonidae (1)Sarcopterygii (4)Siluriformes (3)Syngnathiformes (1)Tetraodontiformes (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50African butter catfishOmnivoreAllard's ClownfishOmnivoreAmargosa River pupfishOmnivoreAustralian graylingOmnivoreAustralian Lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri)OmnivoreAustraloheros facetusOmnivoreBluegillOmnivoreChannel CatfishOmnivoreCinnamon ClownfishOmnivoreClark's AnemonefishOmnivoreClear Lake hitchOmnivoreClownfishOmnivoreCommon CarpOmnivoreCommon RoachOmnivoreConvict cichlidOmnivoreFiremouth CichlidOmnivoreFlying FishOmnivoreGoldfishOmnivoreJullien's golden carpOmnivoreMaldive AnemonefishOmnivoreMandarinfishOmnivoreMaroon ClownfishOmnivoreMauritian AnemonefishOmnivoreMcCulloch's AnemonefishOmnivoreMesonauta festivusOmnivoreMexican tetraOmnivoreMongolian graylingOmnivoreMozambique TilapiaOmnivoreMrigal carpOmnivoreNosestripe ClownfishOmnivoreOcean SunfishOmnivoreOcellaris ClownfishOmnivoreOrange ClownfishOmnivoreOrange Skunk ClownfishOmnivoreOrange-fin AnemonefishOmnivoreOscar (fish)OmnivorePacuOmnivorePink Skunk ClownfishOmnivoreProtopterus AnnectensOmnivorePufferfishOmnivoreRed Saddleback AnemonefishOmnivoreRed Sea ClownfishOmnivoreSaddleback ClownfishOmnivoreSebae ClownfishOmnivoreSeychelles AnemonefishOmnivoreSharptail molaOmnivoreSouth American LungfishOmnivoreSynodontis petricolaOmnivoreTecopa pupfishOmnivoreWalking CatfishOmnivoreShowing 1 to 50 of 53, page 1 of 2.12Next →Sources1.
