Description
The Silver Wrestling Halfbeak is a unique and slender freshwater fish, easily recognized by its elongated body and distinctive halfbeak, where the lower jaw extends further than the upper. Its sleek, metallic silver coloration shimmers under light, adding a touch of elegance to any aquarium. This top-dwelling species is an active swimmer, known for its curious and lively behavior.
Despite their small size, typically reaching about 2-3 inches, Silver Wrestling Halfbeaks are fascinating to watch, often darting around the water surface. While generally peaceful, they can be territorial with their own kind, so providing plenty of space is recommended. A tank of at least 15-20 gallons with a covered lid is ideal, as they can be jumpers.
Silver Wrestling Halfbeaks thrive in slightly brackish water, but they are adaptable to freshwater conditions. They prefer a temperature range of 72-82°F and do well in planted tanks with open swimming areas. These livebearers are also interesting for hobbyists interested in breeding, as they give birth to free-swimming fry. With their striking appearance and engaging behavior, Silver Wrestling Halfbeaks make a captivating and low-maintenance addition to community aquariums.
