Xenentodon canciloides
Needlefish, Freshwater Needlefish, Asian Freshwater Needlefish
Xenentodon canciloides, or the Freshwater Needlefish, are known for their elongated bodies and unique appearance. They have specialized adaptations for a piscivorous diet, as they primarily feed on smaller fish. Due to their potential aggressive behavior, these fish should be housed with consideration for compatible tank mates. They are also excellent jumpers, so having a secure cover on their aquarium is essential.
