Info
The Japanese lyrefish is not or only very rarely found in the specialized trade.
Neosynchiropus ijimae is a predominantly peaceful lyrefish, but it can quickly become aggressive towards similar species, so please never put different species of lyrefish in the same aquarium.
It will lead to fights and even death.
Adult males have a dark spot on the cheek.
The first dorsal fin of adult males is very high and broad and marked with many narrow white and dark lines, but in females the dorsal fin is also relatively high and marked with some dark oblique lines.
The body of the lyrefish is brown or red with yellow or blue spots, and overall the head and body appear crouched and compressed backwards.
Etymology. The specific name, ijimae, was chosen in honor of the Japanese zoologist Isao Ijima (1861-1921).
