Toothpick fish (indostomus paradoxus) | Live animal

Known as both the armoured stickleback and the toothpick fish, this species lives up to its names. Indostomus paradoxus grows to a maximum length of just over 1 inch (25-30mm) and exhibits a long, narrow body that tapers toward a small, fan-shaped tail. Their bodies are heavily armoured and neutral-coloured, which helps them blend into their habitat. They may not accept dried or frozen foods, so be prepared to offer a variety of very small live foods like baby brine shrimp, Daphnia, and micro worms.NOT FOR FUSSY BUYERPhotos and videos are for reference onlyAll livestock are randomly catch no viewing/choosingAs we are dealing with live fishes there will be times when fishes are not in good condition and we do not want to sell sick fishes to our customers, we will inform you when such situations occur.
