Not sure - but I believe they
Not sure - but I believe they are a very slow growing fish so should ideally be released
Siamese fighting fish of the sea...
Did eat one around 20+ years ago and not bad on the tooth at all - I have released the two I have caught since that first one

pretty fish
We used to see them when free diving in the shallows, mostly hiding in caves and overhangs. A very attractive fish especially with his fins displayed. Never eaten one so will that to others to have an opinion. Good to see you returned it to the water.
