Common name: Threadfin Breams

Nemipteridae, commonly known as Threadfin Breams or Whiptails, is a family of marine fish found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific. These fish are characterized by their elongated thread-like pelvic fins and bright, often iridescent colors. They are generally small to medium-sized and can be a good choice for larger fish-only aquariums. Threadfin Breams are bottom dwellers and prefer sandy or muddy substrates where they feed on small invertebrates. They are not common in the reef aquarium trade, but their interesting behavior and coloration can make them a unique addition for experienced aquarists.
