Description
The Teraglin is a large, predatory marine fish known for its silvery body and yellowish fins. It is a popular sport fish found in coastal waters and estuaries, primarily feeding on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. Due to its significant size and predatory nature, it is not suitable for typical home aquariums.
