Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know the lifespan of a halfbeak? (Dermogenys pusillus)I have 2 which I have had for about 8 months now and think they are really cute. They are hard to buy over here and are seasonal. The last time I saw some in our lfs they were only about 3cm long. Mine are double that size and seem very happy.
Any comments appreciated,
BubbleLover

They are relatively short-lived fish, like almost all livebearers. I would be surprised if one made it to five years old, which is very short for most other types of fish.

Hi Cory Addict,
I hope both of mine live for that long. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for your comment
