Description
The Full Moony, also known as Silver Moony, is a beautiful, disc-shaped fish with a shimmering silver body. Juveniles can be kept in freshwater but require a transition to brackish or full marine conditions as they mature. They are schooling fish that thrive in groups and need ample swimming space.
