Asian leaffishes are small freshwater fishes of the Nandidae family, from Southern Asia. There are only four genera in this group.
They usually have small heads, cryptical colors and very large protractile mouths. Those features, along with their peculiar movements help them to catch fairly large preys compared to their bodies, including, specially, small fish, aquatic insects and other invertebrates.
Their odd leaf-like appearance make them interesting fishes for aquarium hobbyists.
