    Minyichthys brachyrhinus is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae.[1]

    Geography[edit]

    They can be found in the coastal waters of Indonesia, Sumatra, the Philippines, Fiji, and Hawaii, though little is known about their preferred habitat in these areas.[2][3]

    Diet[edit]

    Their diet likely consists of small crustaceans such as copepods, amphipods, and mysid shrimps.[4]

    Reproduction[edit]

    Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which the males brood eggs before giving live birth.[3]
