Hi all,
I was wondering if this fish can go straight into brackish/marine conditions while young, or do they need to go from fw, to saltwater first?
I have read they dont do well in freshwater, is this true? i have a freshwater aquarium at the moment, and am looking to go saltwater in the future. Would it be a good idea for me to add them to the freshwater and then move them to brackish/marine in the future (my plans were to go salt in maybe 1 year), is this time scale too much, too little?
Should i scrap the idea of adding them to the freshwater and be patient and wait for the saltwater setup?
Id hate to know that my actions killed a perfectly healthy fish, so id rather get as much info now before i go and buy some.. pets shops are telling me they are fine for freshwater but after some research online im not sure if they are just looking for a sale?
Thanks in advance
