Wrestling Halfbeak is a fascinating surface-dweller that will add excitement to your aquarium. Found in various aquatic habitats such as canals, drains, flooded fields, and more, this elongate fish thrives in sluggish, heavily vegetated waters.
To create an ideal habitat for the Wrestling Halfbeak, it is recommended to set up the aquarium in a quiet area with a large surface area. This species can be skittish, so providing ample space is crucial to prevent any damage to its long, delicate mouth parts. A combination of tall driftwood tangles, dense planting, and floating species will provide a sense of security for these fish.
Efficient filtration and gentle water movement are important considerations for the Wrestling Halfbeak's well-being. Regular small water changes will help maintain optimal water quality by minimizing nitrate levels. It is advisable to keep these fish in groups, either with a single male and multiple females or, in larger setups with visual barriers, mixed groups consisting of at least 6 males. This helps distribute any territorial aggression among the males.
I’ve had a wrestling half beak years ago and was thrilled to get another one! Arrived happy and healthy and is doing great in my community nano tank.
