Description
The Liseta Mullet is a schooling, euryhaline fish found in coastal waters, estuaries, and lagoons of the Western Atlantic. They are primarily detritivores, feeding on organic matter, algae, and small invertebrates from the substrate. These silvery fish are known for their migratory patterns and can reach a considerable size, making them unsuitable for most home aquariums.
