Description
The Agone Mullet is a slender, silvery fish native to the Mediterranean and Black Seas, often found in coastal lagoons, estuaries, and sometimes rivers. It is a schooling species that feeds on detritus, algae, and small invertebrates. Due to its large size and schooling nature, it is not typically kept in home aquariums.
