Lookdowns are fascinating fish that typically inhabit the upper regions of an aquarium, adding dynamic movement to the top of your tank. These fish can grow up to 19 inches and require a minimum tank size of 300 gallons. Their striking silver scales are highly reflective, making them a visually captivating addition. Unlike many other fish, Lookdowns prefer the upper levels of the aquarium, enhancing the activity at the top.

These peaceful fish generally coexist well with other species, though they may pose a threat to the smallest fish and invertebrates. It's important to avoid housing Lookdowns with aggressive fish, as they are unable to defend themselves. When kept in groups, Lookdowns will often form schools.

As carnivores, Lookdowns need a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality frozen and fresh seafood. Live food may be necessary to encourage feeding in a new aquarium environment.
