Brackish Cats

Post by SorubimLima »

Here's a new question. Are there any true brackish cats, other than ariids? I haven't seen any posts on this at all, save one. If so, where are they from, and how big do they get? I am not looking for a cat that can standbrackish, but a cat that naturally occurs in brackish.

How about a Silver tipped shark, these are probably my favorite cats but I don't really want to set up a brackish/saltwater tank yet.

Um, silver-tipped sharks are ariids.

One non-ariid brackish catfish is . The long-tailed banjo cats (Aspredinichthys, Aspredo and Platystacus) are also brackish (although they are also found in freshwater).

Thanks, guys. I was looking for something banjo size but wasn't sure if there were any brackish banjos. I believe that the lfs might be able to get these banjos eventually.
