Forcipiger longirostris (Chelmon with long beak)

The fishing fish for Longirostris is a tropical fish from the Famipigeridae family. It is commonly known as a long nose-fish-fisherman because of its distinctive shape, which is characterized by an elongated head and a hooked beak similar to that of a parrot. The body of the fish-sirene is covered with shiny and colorful scales, with generally orange, yellow and blue patterns, which can vary in intensity depending on the region where it lives.

Fish-sirene measures an average of 10 to 15 cm in length, although some specimens can reach up to 20 cm. It has two pectoral fins to propel itself into water, as well as a caudal bilobée fin which allows it to change direction quickly and easily. The dorsal fin fin is short and thorny, which gives it a defensive aspect.

Fish-sirene is mainly pelagic, that is to say that it lives in full water, far from the bottom. It is generally lonely, although it can sometimes be found in small groups. It feeds mainly on crustaceans and molluscs which he captures with his hooked beak. Fish-sirene can also feed on small fish and zooplankton.

Fish-Sirène is a relatively common fish in the coral reefs of the hot waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean, although we can also find them in other parts of the tropical world. It is often observed near the surface of the water, where it swims by oscillating laterally in a graceful way. Fish-sirene is considered an unthanded species, although it can be affected by the loss of habitat due to the destruction of coral reefs and water pollution.
