Albino Halfbeak

Care is fairly simple for the Halfbeak.  It is naturally found in a variety of water parameters, including somewhat brackish water up to a salinity of 1.005.  However, it is somewhat intolerant of sudden changes in water parameters, so smaller, more frequent water changes are recommended.  It will thrive on a variety of high-quality frozen and flake foods and, if available, gut-loaded fruit flies.
