That Target Perch (as the name shows in Taraporewala Aquarium or the Hajaam in local language) was my first (and also second) saltwater fish. Caught it on a large hook with aata only on its tip, tied to a nylon dori (not even a fishing line). The hook safely passed from the mouth to the gills without puncturing. It came off hook easily and I released it. The second time I took it home and put it in my aquarium and added jaada namak to match the saltwater density (had an old hydrometer which I had bought to make wine at home). It survived successfully for 2 months until I went out of station and my bro overfed it to the extent that the water was almost opaque. It never fed on fish feed at home. Only ate tiny aata balls greedily.

Also congrats to the tiny angler. Her pink fishing rod and reel matching to her pink outfit is really cute plus the fish.......... supercool.
