Platinum Halfbeak - 3.5cm (Dermogenys pusillus) (Live Fish)

Platinum Halfbeaks (Dermogenys pusillus) are distinctive surface-dwelling freshwater fish admired for their slender bodies, extended lower jaws, and shimmering platinum-silver colouration. Their unusual appearance and active surface behaviour make them an interesting addition to peaceful community and planted aquariums.

They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water quality, gentle surface flow, floating plants, and plenty of open surface area. A secure aquarium cover is recommended, as halfbeaks are capable jumpers. Best kept in compatible groups, they feel more secure and display their natural surface-dwelling behaviour. Feed a varied diet of appropriately sized floating foods, micro pellets, frozen, and live foods.

Size, colour, pattern, and appearance may vary.
