Description
The So-iuy Mullet is a large, euryhaline fish native to the Western Pacific, known for its silvery body and elongated shape. These schooling fish are primarily detritivores, feeding on organic matter and algae in coastal waters and estuaries. Due to their size and specific water requirements, they are considered an advanced species for specialized aquariums.
