Description
The Japanese Large-eye Bream is a large, silvery marine fish characterized by its prominent eyes and robust body. Found in the Indo-Pacific, it inhabits sandy and rubble bottoms, feeding primarily on benthic invertebrates and small fish. This species requires a very large saltwater aquarium due to its significant adult size.
