Description
The Guinea croaker (*Pseudotolithus senegalensis*) is a large, predatory fish native to the coastal waters and estuaries of West Africa. Characterized by its elongated body and silvery-grey coloration, it is primarily a commercial food fish. Due to its significant adult size and specialized care requirements, it is considered an expert-level species not typically suitable for home aquariums.
