Description
The Louvar is a large, pelagic fish found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide, known for its distinctive deep body, rounded head, and reddish fins. This solitary species is rarely encountered and is not suitable for home aquariums due to its immense size and specialized needs. It primarily feeds on zooplankton, jellyfish, and small crustaceans.
