Description
The Pacific Flagfin Mojarra is a silvery, bottom-dwelling fish found in the Eastern Pacific's coastal and estuarine waters. They possess a highly protractile mouth, which they use to sift through sandy substrates for small invertebrates and detritus. These schooling fish are generally peaceful and can reach up to 10 inches in length.
