Mandarin fish 3inch

Siniperca are obligate predators that feed almost exclusively on fish. They can swallow surprisingly large chunks. In the case of slender prey fish, these can be up to 2/3 of the body length of the Siniperca – they are swallowed very quickly. S. chuatsi is a stalker that slowly approaches its prey in the darkest coloration and then strikes with lightning speed. It does not always catch its prey head first. Under certain circumstances, it may have to spit out spiny prey and try again.
