The high-finned spinytail is a fish that lives in the coral reef areas of tropical oceans, with a large triangular shape, a high dorsal and fin, and a brightly colored and beautiful body. There are many species of high-fin spinytails, such as high-fin spinytails, small high-fin spinytails, and yellow-finned spinytails. The colors vary slightly between the different species, but they all have their own advantages, and they are all very popular ornamental fish.
High-finned spiny tailfish
The body of the high-fin spiny tail is flat, triangular, with a high dorsal and fin, and the body color is varied, and the whole body is mostly distributed with brown and white ring bands, and there are dozens of light yellow thin ring bands on the ring belt. The head of the high-finned spiny tail is generally white, dotted with yellow spots, with dark brown markings across the eyes. Its dorsal fin and fin are the same color as the body, and are distributed with narrow white stripes in the shape of a ring, and the brown caudal fin is covered with small dark yellow spots.
Unique fins
The dorsal and fins of the high-fin spiny tail fish are unfolded like a boat holding up the sails, so they are also called big sail upside down. When the juvenile sails are hoisted upside down and unfold their dorsal and fins, they are almost twice as tall as they are, and when they swim, they are like beautiful butterflies dancing in the sea. As the growth and development, the number of times the sails are hoisted upside down to expand the dorsal fin gradually decreases, and the ratio of the height of the dorsal and fins to the body length also gradually decreases. As an adult, the sail upside down will only unfold its beautiful fins when it is highly excited or stimulated by the outside world.
Small high-finned spiny tailfish
Small high-finned spiny tail fish is also known as "coffee crane", "black triangle crane", "brown crane". Its body color changes as it grows: most of the juvenile's body is bright yellow, and as it grows, it gradually changes from the back of the body forward to a black-brown color, and blue stripes gradually appear near the tail. They usually inhabit lush coral thickets, feed mainly on algae, and prefer to move in groups of three or two.
Yellow-high-finned spiny tailfish
Yellow high-finned spiny tail fish, also known as "golden crane" and "yellow triangle crane", is a very famous ornamental fish. They are almost all bright yellow with narrow dark edges on the pectoral fins. The yellow-high-finned spinytail lives in subtropical coral reefs and feeds on large algae such as filamentous algae, as well as zooplankton. Juveniles usually move in specific areas and only begin to roam the wider coral reef waters as they grow up. Mature yellow-high-finned spiny tails generally move alone and in loose small groups.

Huilan Shibei
Diurnal Yellow-high-finned spinytails travel among seaweeds during the day and roost in the gaps of coral reefs at night.
Color change The body color of the small high-fin thorntail fish will turn black when nervous, and the body color will turn white when excited.
Distribution The high-finned spiny seabream is mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean and The Pacific Ocean, and is more distributed in the Red Sea, the Sea of Japan and the southeastern part of Australia.
Past periods are also wonderful
