The lifespan of the moontail hanger is about 8 years, and can reach 10 years if kept well. After understanding the lifespan of the moontail crane, let's take a look at the morphological characteristics of the moontail crane.

The moon-tail hanging head is small, and the outline of the head and back is not particularly convex out. The mouth is small, end position, with a row of flat teeth in the upper and lower jaws, the teeth are fixed and immovable, and the tooth margins are notched. The dorsal and anal fins have sharp spines, and none of the fin rays are elongated; the pectoral fins are nearly triangular; the caudal fin is crescent-shaped, hence the name moon tail hanging.
