All scats can live in full fresh, brackish and salt. Scats differ from other brackish species and can move through fresh and salt faster than any other fish. I have to research more but I know you can dump them straight into either fresh or salt with no acclimation but vice versa they need at least a few minutes to acclimate.

That might be true for greens, reds, silvers, but not the tigers

Thanks for your helping to correct my mistake
but answer is 16"+

In South Africa there occurs one species of the Scatophagidae family, viz., Scatophagus tetracanthus. I caught two at Richard's Bay. Natal. They have bars. not spots. But I failed to acclimatise them to fresh water - they tolerated a density of l.008 at 20~C, but died at 1.004. To cut off a section of http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/breeding/hering_Scats.html
to need to add 1/10 seawater to your frash water tank for long-term health of tiger scats ,1litre is equal to have 35 gram sea salt

Yeah, I had two of these - they died of pretty quickly in fresh water, even though I had bought them in fresh water. I'm quite surprised I haven't caught any yet...
