This fish is unmistakable with its ultra thin body and sad "lookdown" expresstion. Can be kept in groups and a school of them can make a terrific display. However, keep them in only large aquariums. They grow quite large and need alot of room to swim. Be cautious of tankmates, do not keep with fin nippers. |

The Threadfin Lookdown (Selene vomer) is sometimes called a Lookdown. It belongs to the family named Carangidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 12.0 inches in length, the Threadfin Lookdown is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the middle tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Selene vomer should not be housed in a tank less than 140 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and keep 3 or more.
