Half Beak Breeding.
This is third time when the pair of Half Beak given birth atleast 50 fry at last night. The last batch of 48 fry has been eaten by Melanotaenia splendida australis fry (3 month old). The light of that aquarium was failed for 3 days and all of these has been eaten by that fish. This time, I have got more than 40+ fry.

interesting fish.
Just cos it happened to you is no means for you to claim that it will happen to me. Exceptions aren't the rule.

Re: Half Beak Breeding.
you are right, rajiv. This fish gives u the joy and satisfaction of keeping a gar, without needing a large aquarium! I love gars, but have no space for such large fish. After keeping halfbeaks, i realised how similar they are...
But i am worried about inbreeding. If we want good hobbyists in Delhi NCR to keep this interesting and enjoyable species for a long-long time, we must get some unrelated fish to keep the gene-pool diverse... Can some hobbyist from south india exchange stock with us??
