The **Scissortail Dartfish** is a stunning and graceful species of dartfish. Its elongated body transitions from a vibrant electric blue at the head to a deep black towards the tail.

These dartfish can grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 29 gallons. Known for their jumping ability, it's crucial to house them in an aquarium with a secure lid to prevent escapes. A fine substrate is ideal for their burrowing habits, and ample live rock will provide comfort and hiding spots when startled.

**Scissortail Dartfish** are reef-friendly and coexist peacefully with other fish, invertebrates, and corals. However, they may show aggression towards other dartfish, so it's best to keep a mated pair or ensure a larger tank if housing multiple pairs.

As carnivores, **Scissortail Dartfish** thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, along with small pieces of fresh seafood, to support their growth and health. High-quality frozen foods are also suitable.
