Description
The Sevan Trout is a large, predatory coldwater fish endemic to Lake Sevan in Armenia. It is known for its distinct spotted pattern and can grow to a significant size. Due to its specific environmental requirements for cold, highly oxygenated water and its large adult size, it is rarely kept in typical home aquariums.
