Info
Risso, 1827
Euryhaline, found among detritus or vegetation over sand or mud, within a temperature range of 8° to 24°C. Probably an amphidromous species but migratory behavior needs verification. Ovoviviparous.
The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail.
Early free-living young measure 23 mm.
Spiecies in the Black Sea reach 21 to 23 cm, individuals of the Mediterranean reach 15 cm.

Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.
