Half Beak – Golden Halfbeak (Dermogenys Pusilla) 5cm

The Half Beak is a slender livebearer that grows to 6-7cm and is native to south-east Asia. The albino Platinum has a lovely crisp white/silver colour which reflects lovely under the aquarium lighting. Almost as if the fish had been dipped in some silver dust.

A surface dweller, most aquarium foods are eaten, but floating foods are best.

They prefer slightly alkaline water that is not soft, where necessary add conditioning salts to their water – particularly in soft water areas.

Best kept in small groups with similar-sized peaceful species.
