Description
The Canine-toothed Midwater Bream is a schooling marine fish characterized by its elongated body and a prominent yellow stripe along its lateral line. These active swimmers are often found in large aggregations over coral reefs and in open water, feeding on zooplankton. They require a spacious aquarium to thrive.
