[Ebook] 500 freshwater aquarium fish – Livebeavers – Long-snout Halfbeak (Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus)
The six Hemirhamphodon species—including H. pogonognathus, the aptly named Long-snout Halfbeak—are all found in freshwater from the southern part of the Malay Peninsula south to Sumatra and east to Borneo. They can easily be distinguished from the Dermogenys halfbeaks by the presence of teeth in their lower jaw and by the positioning of the dorsal fin, the base of which lies in front of the anal fin.Other common names: Long-nosed Halfbeak, Thread-jawed Halfbeak
