Fish photos for a change. πŸ™‚ My first clear shots of halfbeak fish, probably the Stripe-nosed Halfbeak (Zenarchopterus buffonis), taken at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 27 Oct 2019.

Halfbeaks get their name from their mouth: their upper jaw is much shorter than their lower one, an adaptation for feeding on food near the surface of the water.
