Description
The Taiwan Picnic Seabream (*Acanthopagrus taiwanensis*) is a large, robust marine fish native to the coastal waters of Taiwan. This predatory species is a carnivore, feeding on crustaceans, mollusks, and smaller fish. Due to its size and dietary needs, it requires a very large, well-maintained saltwater aquarium.
