Description
The Razor Fish is known for its unique vertical swimming position, often hovering with its head pointed downwards, making it an intriguing addition to the marine aquarium. This behavior, combined with its slender, silvery body and prominent dark stripe, allows it to blend seamlessly with seagrass and other vertical structures in the wild. Razor Fish are peaceful and typically kept in groups, mimicking their natural schooling behavior. They thrive on a carnivorous diet, primarily consisting of live or frozen small crustaceans. Due to their specialized care requirements and behavior, they are recommended for experienced aquarists.
