Trachinotus blochii

Trachinotus blochii, commonly known as the Snubnose pompano, is a very large schooling fish. Their base colour is silver with a little golden-yelowish hue on their head and in their fins. They've a long anal and dorsal fin and a large head earning the name snubnose.

As juveniles they live in large schools on sandy beaches or muddy bays near river mouths. As adults they usually live solitary in clear coastal waters, usually near coral and rock reefs feeding mainly on sand mollusks and other hard-shelled invertebrates. So make sure to offer them a varied diet of meaty food and watch out combining them with anything that fit their mouths!
