Description
Miller's Flyingfish is a pelagic marine species known for its remarkable ability to glide long distances above the water's surface using its enlarged pectoral fins. These fish are not suitable for home aquariums due to their specialized needs for vast open ocean environments and their unique aerial behavior. They primarily feed on zooplankton and small crustaceans.
