Note : This is considered a brackish/saltwater fish. I’ve had mine for over 5 years in straight freshwater with no problems. Not a recommendation to follow in my foot steps but this fish has proved to be very hardy. I once knew somebody who had kept a Monodactylus argenteus (close cousin) in freshwater for years with a PH as low 6.5 with no issues.
