Paopao Ulua

$60.00

The Paopao Ulua is a sub species of the Ulua Ohana, who’s style and tactics are unique to its carnivorous cousins. 

The Paopao Ulua predominantly occupies in shore waters of varying substrates and is found either as a solitary individual or in small schools as an adult. Juveniles tend to form larger schools which tend to congregate and follow ( or "pilot") larger fish such as groupers, sharks, and even jellyfish. This behavior mimics that of the related pilot fish, Naucrates ductor, with their maneuverability protecting them from their hosts, which in turn provides them with protection from predation from other fish. 

The highly protractile mouth possessed by this species is toothless and used to form a tube to suck prey out of both reef- and algae-dominated habitats, as well as filtering organisms out of sandy substrates. It also consumes a variety of fish, crustaceans and molluscs.

Personality: Friendly, Introvert. Peaceful and Happy.

Other names - golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus),
