The Dolphin Fish, at a size of 5-6 cm, is a small but captivating freshwater species known for its elegant shape and vibrant coloration. This fish is named for its slightly curved body and rounded forehead, reminiscent of a dolphin, which gives it a distinctive and appealing appearance in the aquarium.

In this juvenile stage, the Dolphin Fish typically displays a soft, bluish-silver hue that can intensify as it matures. As it grows, the fish will develop more pronounced colors, especially around the head and dorsal fin, making it a striking centerpiece in any aquarium.

This species is peaceful and does well in a community tank with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. The Dolphin Fish thrives in a well-maintained environment with stable water conditions, preferring a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a slightly alkaline pH. A tank with a mix of open swimming areas and hiding spots, such as rocks or plants, is ideal for this active swimmer.

As an omnivore, the Dolphin Fish has a varied diet and will accept a range of foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms.

The Dolphin Fish's gentle demeanor and captivating looks make it an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a unique and peaceful species to their freshwater aquarium. Its small size at 5-6 cm allows it to fit comfortably into a variety of tank setups, where it can grow and thrive.
