Su mei, also known as corrugated lip fish, is undoubtedly one of the most expensive edible fish. Because of its delicious flesh, it has been overfished and is currently listed in the appendix to the Convention on the Protection of The World Convention on the Protection of Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna. Adult sumei has a blue-green body, a large and forward bulging forehead (which may be the origin of the name of the dragonfish), and many public aquariums are very fond of collecting them, this fish can grow up to 2 meters, which is the largest individual in the family of longhead fish.
In the aquarium trade, the small su eyebrows under 10 centimeters are also particularly attractive, although they do not have a blue-green body, but the eyes that always rotate are particularly agile and chic. They are very easy to raise, if they are well kept, and the total water body of the aquarium is greater than 1000 liters, the 10 cm individual can grow to about 50 cm in 3 years, but even in the public aquarium, few individuals can grow to a larger size, which takes too long. A 1-meter sumei may be 10 years old or older, so adults are particularly rare and valuable and should no longer appear in the edible and ornamental fish trade.
Su Mei's sense of territory is very strong, and two cannot be raised at the same time in an aquarium, otherwise one will definitely be injured to death. Their mouths are very large, and if they swallow anything they can swallow, an individual of 10 centimeters can eat a small tuna of about 5 centimeters, so it cannot be kept with small fish.
