Comments
Scats are brackish water fish. They can adapt to living in either freshwater or saltwater but do best in water with about 1 Tablespoon of
aquarium
salt per 5 gallons of aquarium water. Scats are very energetic, mildly aggressive, and have huge appetites. So feed them often with live and frozen foods.
Here is a large 5" Silver Scat. The Silver Scats for sale at our online tropical fish store are smaller than this one. Click
here
for more about buying a Scat from us. Scats are brackish water fish and do best with aquarium salt in their water.
This picture above shows a Silver Scat about 5" long. Scats are brackish water fish and are active, hardy, and mild tempered. They do well in
most aquariums and are compatible with most fish that are close to their size and can tolerate about 1 Tablespoon of aquarium salt per each 5 gallons of water.

Appropriate Home
Eventually a large aquarium with at least 50 gallons of water
and probably
a much
larger
aquarium, an
exterior
power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, an
aquarium
heater adjusted to keep the water between 78 and 82 degrees F., and at least 1 Tablespoon of
aquarium salt per each
5 gallons of aquarium water. Click
here for more about warm water aquariums.
Recommended Diet
When hungry Scats may eat floating flake food for tropical fish, which is available in most
stores that sell pet
fish. Scats will usually eat
freeze dried blood worms,
which are actually
mosquito larvae. But Scats prefer
freeze dried shrimps and
krill. Perhaps best of
all Scats relish live or
frozen brine shrimp.
You should try to feed Scats some greens such as spinach and lettuce, but be sure to quickly remove uneaten food, so it won't spoil and pollute the water.
Huge
Green Scats about 18" long have been seen to rip heads of cabbage apart.

This picture shows a Green Scat about 3.5" long. Scats enjoy the company of other Scats. So its best to keep a group of
Scats, and you'll see that they spend most of their time together.
