Description
The Limpid-wing Flyingfish is a pelagic marine fish renowned for its impressive ability to glide above the ocean surface using its large, clear pectoral fins. Found in tropical and subtropical waters globally, they primarily feed on zooplankton. Due to their specialized open-ocean lifestyle and need for vast spaces, they are not suitable for typical home aquariums.
