Description
The Dorab Wolf Herring is a large, elongated, and highly predatory marine fish characterized by its silvery body and sharp, prominent teeth. It is a fast-swimming hunter that primarily preys on smaller fish. Due to its significant size and aggressive nature, it is rarely kept in home aquariums and is more suited for large public aquariums.
