The four-eyed fish or the four-eyed fish, scientific name Anableps anableps, belongs to the Anablepidae family. An extremely curious representative of tropical fish. Has an unusual eye structure. In reality, there are only two of them, like other animals, but each of them is divided into two zones, which allows you to simultaneously look up and down, under water and above water.

Such an adaptation helps the fish to search for food much more efficiently, in addition, it gives an additional advantage over predators, since its entire life is concentrated in the upper layers of the water, then threats lie in wait from two environments at once.

Pagpadayon ug pag-atiman

The pH and GH indicators are not so critical, the salinity level is much more important; when preparing water, salt should be dissolved in a proportion of 1 g. per 1 liter. Of the equipment, a simple airlift filter and heater are sufficient. Lighting system set to moderate light intensity.

It is advisable to fill the aquarium half or three-quarters and close it tightly to prevent the fish from jumping out. In decoration, use root plants that are resistant to salt.
