A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Scat occurs in three distinct color forms (green, silver, and red) which were once thought to be different species but are now all considered to be variants of the extremely widespread S. argus. Found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, scats are amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), scats will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. The green scat is a t common color variant of S. argus, and is typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests. Although juvenile scats can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

An unusual Sleeper Goby that is found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, the Crazy Fish or Upside Down Sleeper Goby is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Their name reflects their habit of swimming upside down or at an angle, normal behavior for this species. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), they will do best in light to moderate strength brackish water. Typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests, these fish are active and fast-moving predators that feed on small fish and invertebrates in the wild but are peaceful toward any tankmates too large to be eaten.

One of a number of so-called freshwater “sharks” in the Cyprinid family (no actual relation to marine sharks), the colorful Rainbow Shark has been popular in the aquarium hobby for decades. Originating in well-oxygenated shallow streams in the Mekong basin in Southeast Asia, this fish is a medium growing hardy omnivore and grazer that makes a colorful addition to a medium or large community aquarium. Although smaller fish do well in groups, they tend to become more solitary as they grow and can become territorial towards one another or other similar looking fish as adults. Ideal tankmates include medium peaceful cichlids, barbs, or larger rainbowfish.

The Sharptail goby is found in fresh, brackish, and marine waters throughout much of the Indo-Pacific but is rarely seen in the hobby. A medium sized, active fish with attractive markings and elaborate fins, this fish inhabits a wide variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat, but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but if kept in full fresh will do best in moderately hard water. They are peaceful towards most similar-sized tankmates and with each other, although adult males may spar over territory. Our Sharptail Gobies are kept in full freshwater with the addition of a small amount of aquarium salt.

The Stars and Stripes or White Spotted Puffer is typically found in marine and reef habitats throughout the Indo Pacific, but like several other pufferfish species it occasionally ventures into brackish water areas like estuaries and lagoons and are able to adapt to salinity as low as 10ppt. These fish were collected in mangrove swamp habitat in Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka, where salinity ranges from 10 – 18ppt. Although they will likely migrate out to the Indian Ocean as they grow, juveniles may remain in brackish conditions for extended periods. In the aquarium, we recommend a salinity of around 15ppt with a gradual increase as the fish approach adulthood. A hardy, active, and outgoing species, they will do well with similarly sized fast moving tankmates like Scats, Monos, or Chromides.

The lone representative of the marine frog and anglerfish family that is known to venture into brackish to pure freshwater conditions, the ‘freshwater’ frogfish is a unique and fascinating predator rarely seen in the freshwater hobby. Like their saltwater counterparts, they are slow moving, using their elaborate camouflage and lure-like appendage to ambush smaller prey items like crustaceans and smaller fish. In the aquarium, they are best kept in species tanks to ensure they are not outcompeted for food by faster-moving fish and will do best with plenty of rockwork or other cover which they will typically blend into with remarkable skill. Although they are collected in and kept in pure freshwater typically, these fish will do best with the addition of some aquarium salt at minimum and will also adapt with ease to brackish water conditions.

The Blue Mahseer is one of several large cyprinids from Southeast Asia collectively known as ‘Mahseer’ – most of which are prized food fish in their native habitats. The species is one of the more medium-sized Mahseer, reaching a maximum size of around 20″ in theaquarium. Their large, iridescent scales and peaceful behavior in the aquarium have led some to compare them to tropical versions of koi. Although hardy and adaptable, they will do best in clean, well-oxygenated water with moderate current. Mahseer make excellent dither fish for large predatory species and rarely bother tankmates.

The Indo Datnoid or Indo Tigerfish (IT) is found throughout Peninsular Malaysia and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Borneo, and likely parts of East Java as well. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. Specimens from Sumatra are especially colorful and well-marked, with the 4 bar variant found in the region among the more sought after varieties of Indo Datnoid in the trade. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.

An uncommon and intricately patterned freshwater eel from the acidic peat swamps of Borneo, the Tapir Spiny Eel is a well-camouflaged ambush predator in its natural habitat. In the aquarium, they are hardy but can be shy at first – be sure to provide plenty of cover. Although recently imported fish can be finicky eaters, they will usually learn to accept a variety of frozen foods over time. Like most freshwater eels, these fish should be kept in tightly covered aquariums as they will utilize even small openings to escape.

A large and aggressive river-dwelling catfish found in parts of Thailand, Maylasia, and Indonesia the Crystal Eyed or Wyckii Catfish (Hemibagrus wyckii) is a powerful, aggressive species only suitable for very specialized hobbyists. In the wild, they are found in a wide variety of habitats but typically in areas of moderate to fast flow. In the aquarium, they are generally hardy but will do best with some current and plenty of oxygenation. With a maximum size of over 24″ in the wild, these fish require the largest of aquariums or indoor ponds as adults. They are also extremely aggressive towards nearly all other fish as well as with conspecifics, and rarely tolerate any tankmates for long. Their jet black body coloration paired with the striking white highlights on the tail and first dorsal fin ray make this an impressive show fish popular with monster fish keepers.
