Very unique looking fish. They arrived at about 4cm in length. Ordered 3 but 1 arrived dead. Excellent service from Mcmerwe in sorting out the issue.

I absolutely love these fish, unfortunately I’m having a hard time keeping them alive.
They are very territorial and seems to be chasing or fighting each other often.

They love to swim at the top of the water. They are live bearers. Cant wait to see tiny halfbeaks in my tank
