Silver Wrestling Halfbeak

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.
