Common name: Snipefishes

Centriscidae, commonly known as snipefishes, shrimpfishes, and bellowsfishes, are a family of marine fish characterized by their elongated bodies and tubular snouts. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, often in seagrass beds or near reefs. In the aquarium, they require a peaceful environment and can be kept with other non-aggressive species. They are known for their unique swimming style, vertically with their heads down, mimicking blades of seagrass. This behavior can be fascinating to observe in a home aquarium. They feed on small crustaceans and planktonic organisms, so a diet of finely chopped seafood and zooplankton is ideal.
