Designation: PET1133
English name: moenkhausia sactaefilomenae
Origin: Overview of silver-screen fish species in the northern tributary of the Brazilian Amazon Basin, South America
Silver-screened lightfish are 5-7 cm in size and gray in color. Silver-screened lightfish are of a very gentle character, preferring grouping activities, and they are pelagic in aquariums, which are less difficult to raise. In addition, silver-screened lightfish are close to the head-tailed lightfish, which are very similar and very easily confused with new fish friends.

The silver-screened lightfish are close to the headtail lightfish, which are very similar in size and colour, and are very easily confused for fish friends who do not know the two species. So what are the appearances of silver-screened lightfish?
Silver-screened fish are about 10 centimetres long, are smallly fed, usually 5 centimetres - 6 centimetres, are long, flat, have a small arc in their abdomen, have small and round heads and have fat fins on their backs, which are characteristic of fat carpfish. Silver-screened fish are silver white, the edge of the scales is black, there is a black section in the tail, there is grey in the yellow in the front of the black section, and there is a broad stripe in the base of the tail with a yellow-coloured stripe. The eyes are more distinctive, with two reflections on the iris and red on the upper part of the iris. The bright red spots on the upper eye, luminous in the light, like a little red light, are also called the "electric eyefish". Silver-screen lightfish breeding environment
The raising of silver-screened lightfish is less difficult, and silver-screened lightfish prefer soft water with weak acid, which can grow healthy if they are given stable water quality and healthy bait. In addition, silver-screened lightfish are growing fast and are easier to feed.
Silver-screened fish are warm, grooved and moist in the upper middle of water, less demanding for water quality and suitable for water temperature of 22°C-25°C. This fish is easier to raise. The water temperature of silverfish forage is recommended at 21 °C to 25 °C, and the water quality is acidic, with pH 6. 0-6.8. Silver-screened fish are mild, never attacking each other or other species of tropical fish, and are an ideal hybrid species that can be mixed with other small tropical fish. Silver-screen lightfish feeding points
It is not very difficult to raise silver-screened lightfish, which can grow healthy by giving them a steady water quality and nutritionally balanced bait. Silver-screened lightfish are also less demanding for bait, and artisanal silver-screened fish do not eat.
Silver-screened lightfish are easy to feed, preferring to live in old, weak acid water, raising water at 20°C ~ 25°C, but at 15°C. Often swimming in the upper part of the water body, free of food, generally animal bait, like live food, eggs, watercow tanks suitable for grass and wood, suitable for small fish mixing.
