Genus

Common name: Razorfish

Scientific name: Aeoliscus

Aeoliscus is a genus of fish in the family Centriscidae, commonly known as Razorfish or Shrimpfish. These unique fish are characterized by their slender bodies and ability to swim in a vertical position, often mimicking blades of seagrass. They are a fascinating addition to peaceful reef or fish-only aquariums, where they can be seen hovering in small schools. Hobbyists should provide them with ample hiding places and a mature tank with stable water conditions.
