I'm looking for catfish candidates for a brackish aquarium. Here's what I know about the Black Fin Shark Cat so far by talking to people and seeing young ones for sale. First the positives. A school of them looks incredible, especially on a sand substrate and with pieces of coral, they look like marauding mini reef sharks! They are very active and entertaining to watch and are said to be peaceful and hardy eaters.
Now the negatives, they get quite big so I'll need a very large final habitat. I've also heard conflicting things about the age and at what size I should start introducing salt into their water, I'd like to nail that down if possible. Anyone have any experience with them or can pass on any info? Or do you have a different catfish species to recommend for the brackish aquarium? Thanks.
