Sakana

Sakana are large, colorful freshwater fish native to Rlaysia. They are commonly raised in the numerous freshwater lakes of the nations as both a hobby and to provide food. Adults can grow truly enormous, with some reaching over six feet in length from nose to tail, and exhibit a variety of colorful and beautiful patterns in their scales. 
==History==
Sakana have been kept by Rlaysian emperors since before the Common Age. Up until recently they have been thought of as native to Rlaysia, but a recent discovery of a colony of sakana in a cavern on Mausoleum Island has cast this belief into doubt. Regardless, the sakana has been the symbol of Rylasia for over 2,000 years and this status is highly unlikely to change.
==Popularity==
The image of a sakana is synonymous with Rlaysia, perhaps even more so than the traditional symbol of a red tree. Sakana are raised by Rlaysians of all ages as both a hobby and as a food source, as the fish are often served roasted. The city of Tai Shan hosts an annual sakana festival that draws thousands from across the nation.
