Description
The Tille Trevally is a large, predatory marine fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific. It is characterized by its silvery body, often with a yellowish caudal fin, and a deep, compressed body shape. This species is a strong swimmer and an opportunistic carnivore, preying on smaller fish and invertebrates, making it unsuitable for typical home aquariums.
