Species Overview

The cobia is a powerful pelagic fish that often follows large rays, sharks, and turtles. Its flattened head and elongated body resemble a shark. Excellent table fare with firm, white flesh, it is increasingly farmed in aquaculture.
Poisson rouge(=Cyprin doré)
The goldfish was one of the first fish to be domesticated, with selective breeding in China dating back over 1,000 years. Despite common misconceptions, goldfish can live 10-15 years with proper care and require far more space than a small bowl.
