Description
The Goldspot Mullet is a schooling fish characterized by its silvery body and a distinct golden spot on its operculum. Primarily found in coastal and estuarine environments of the Indo-West Pacific, it is an omnivorous detritivore. Due to its potential size and schooling nature, it requires a very large, mature brackish or marine aquarium.
