Description
The Bigeye Trevally is a large, predatory marine fish characterized by its prominent eyes and silvery body. Juveniles often form large schools, while adults tend to be more solitary. Due to its significant size and predatory nature, it is primarily suited for very large public aquariums rather than typical home setups.
