Default Terapon AKA Tiger Bass

Haven seen anyone in Singapore keep them before.
They are natural salt water or brackish water fishes. Been with me for around 3 weeks and have converted them into fresh water fishes.
Max size in wild is around 12''
Diet : Feeds on almost anything
They are currently only around 3-4''
But when feeding very whack food like normal monster fish.
Very active Mini Monsters

I still left one with me, now half way convert to fresh water. already with me for 2 months. I got it from Sea view and just try out for fun and when it grow big, should be a nice fish. thks for sharing your fish. let hope it can grow to mature size.(Max size may be around 18inchs)
