Description
The Trout Cod is a critically endangered, large predatory freshwater fish native to the Murray-Darling River system in Australia. It is characterized by its mottled grey-brown coloration, large head, and robust body. Due to its size, predatory nature, and conservation status, it is generally not kept in home aquariums.
