Esomus danrica is a small, active fish known for its streamlined body and the long filament on its dorsal fin, often resembling a flying fish. This species prefers well-planted tanks with ample swimming space. They are surface dwellers and can shoal with other active species. In the wild, they inhabit fast-flowing streams and often leap from the water for insects.
