Halfbeak

A halfbeak is a freshwater and viviparous bony fish of the family Hemiramphidae that is notable for its unusual shaped jaws, the uppermost of which is often less than half the length of the lowermost.

In some Asian countries, the wrestling halfbeak is specially bred for fighting/betting purposes.
