Half Beak | Planted tank fish | Each

Halfbeak aquarium fish are interesting and unique additions to freshwater aquariums, known for their distinctive beak-like mouthparts and surface-dwelling habits.

Generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. Can be somewhat skittish and should be housed with calm tank mates. Include floating plants to provide cover and reduce light intensity. Ensure the tank has a tight-fitting lid, as halfbeaks are known to jump. Provide gentle water flow as they prefer calm waters.

Halfbeak aquarium fish are a delightful addition to any community tank, offering unique behavior and an interesting appearance. Proper care and attention to their specific needs will ensure they thrive in a home aquarium.

Appearance:

• Shape: Elongated body with a pronounced lower jaw that extends much further than the upper jaw, giving them a beak-like appearance.
• Coloration: Generally silver or greenish with some species having iridescent hues and colorful fins.
• Size: Typically, halfbeaks range from 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) in length, depending on the species.
