Lion Head

The Lion Head has a peculiar Chinese name "Shouxing", which means the God of Longevity. People love it's appearance of a large head and a fat belly, with a short tail but without a dorsal fin. It is difficult for the fish to balance itself. It swims and eats slowly and gracefully. Some Lion Heads have their heads pointing downwards when they are not moving. When swimming, sometimes, they trun somersaults, thus making them very funny.
