Description
The Cameroon Croaker (*Pseudotolithus senegalensis*) is a large, predatory marine fish native to the coastal waters and estuaries of West Africa. It is characterized by its elongated body and silvery-grey coloration, feeding primarily on smaller fish and crustaceans. Due to its significant size and specialized needs, it is not suitable for typical home aquariums.
