yep rocks was very simple to do a couple of oversized waste pipes (new obviously) and then smothered them with 30kg of rock and a scattering of bogwood the other end of the tank looks effective when i have the blue lights on
this short vid is with the blue moonlights on

Whoever told you that is wrong. They will need brackish water as they grow or they will not survive. They will also need a much larger tank.raving_wayne wrote:they are scaqt but..... have been bred over several years to fresh water

the person who told me that 2 years ago when i got the first 2 off them has been breeding them for years and slowly introducing them to freshwater of the period all the 5 scats i have have been bred from scat that have never had any salt introduced since 3 generations back and after 2 years my 2 original are now both 6inch and in fantastic condition. and the tank is 450litres 5ftx2ftx2ft which is plenty for green and red scats, silvers would require more but i dont have silvers

Three generations is not enough to allow a brackish water species to adapt to pure freshwater permanently.....
Im not doubting that they are not in good conditon-they look in good nick in the vid, but for long term success brackish conditions would be in their best interests-young scats can withstand freshwater, far as I know adults will not be able to as well.
I dont think a 5ft would be ideal long term either as Gary said-both species are seen around 12inches max, so even at 9/10 inches, bioload wise that that will be to small, especially since you have a good lot of other stock in with them. Do you not have a 12 x 2 x 2 tank to put them into?

nope none of the huge tanks are indoors they are in the fish garage only have this one indoors which is my personal setup. the others are rescue tanks and such which myself and 3 others maintain daily dont want them out the house tho so may look at putting a bigger tank in the hall
