Weighted to increase the sink rate
water quality and diet more important Size & Growth: Juveniles typically available at 24 inches (polka-dot stage) Moderate growth rate: 23 inches annually when well-fed Reach 810 inches within 23 years in aquariums Growth rate slows significantly after reaching 10 inches Maximum size in captivity typically 1214 inches (rare to see 18-inch specimens) Body shape gradually transitions from cube to more rounded form Swimming Behavior & Unique Characteristics Distinctive Movement: Swims using rapid pectoral fin movements creating adorable hovering effect Body remains completely rigid while swimming (cannot flex spine like typical fish) Tail (caudal) and dorsal fins used primarily for steering and stability Slow, deliberate, methodical movements rather than quick darting Poor swimmers in strong currents due to rigid body and inefficient propulsion May rest on substrate or decorations periodically Endearing, comical swimming style captivates all observers Body Structure: Rigid bony carapace (plates fused together) provides protection but limits mobility Small mouth limits prey size and feeding speed Scaleless skin is extremely delicate and easily damaged Large, protruding eyes provide excellent 360-degree vision Box/cube shape makes them hydrodynamically inefficient Vulnerable to faster predators in wild

Sometimes I get it as sashimi, sometimes with ponzu, but either way, its *always* delicate and mild
It works very well for that type of fishing when you are constantly getting hung up using a standard jig 5 Rev CCP Catches fish every time out
