Description
The Bengal Yellowfin Seabream is a large, silvery marine fish characterized by its compressed body, prominent spiny dorsal fin, and yellowish fins. It inhabits coastal waters, estuaries, and lagoons, feeding on a diverse diet of benthic invertebrates and small fish. This species is primarily found in the Indo-West Pacific and is not commonly kept in home aquariums due to its size and specialized care requirements.
