Thanks for the article Oddball, it's a pretty exhaustive list of species. I know most of the info out there says that it is a brackish fish, and should be kept as such, but I feel like switching it to brackish when it is apparently thriving and has been for quite some time now is a bad idea. Also, fishbase says this species is found in lakes (lentic) which generally indicates landlocked bodies of fresh water, correct? I feel that there is very little info on this species and in the lack of info it is more or less assumed they are brackish, perhaps falsely (at least for some populations). After all, if the Lake Nicaragua shark and freshwater Florida stingrays weren't well studied species, who would believe they could possibly occur in freshwater? My point being, if a fish is eating, growing, and acting in a way which is typical for its species, is it safe to assume it is thriving in its current environment? I think so. That being said, I am perfectly prepared to move it into a kickass brackish setup should I see any indication its health is failing.
