Description
The Donkey Croaker is a large, predatory fish native to the Eastern Atlantic, known for its elongated snout and silvery body. It can reach a significant size and is primarily marine, though it can inhabit brackish estuaries. Due to its size and predatory nature, it requires an expert-level keeper and a very large, specialized aquarium.
