Ceylonese combtail Profile
Belontia signata
ℹ️ Overview
The Ceylonese combtail is a distinctively colored fish, primarily known for its vibrant hues and elongated, comb-like finnage. Originating from Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), this fish exhibits a striking appearance with a mix of greens, reds, and sometimes blues or purples, depending on the lighting and individual specimen. It features a unique tail and dorsal fin structure that resembles a comb, lending to its name. Despite its beautiful appearance, the Ceylonese combtail is not as well-known or widespread in the aquarium hobby as other tropical fish, making it a unique and somewhat rare addition for enthusiasts seeking something different for their freshwater tanks.
