Don't listen to the people who think the fish is ugly. That's not right. I think it's cool looking.
They can be kept in anything from fresh to full salt but do best in lightly brackish like mollies. Even as little as 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons will help. Without it they tend to get fungus and bacterial problems. Feeding them is sometimes a problem as they are not usually aggresive feeders but a small section of sand or fine gravel that is used as a feeding station for it as you turn off the lights for the night will help. Use dieing brine shrimp, tubifex or blackworms, and believe it or not, filter sludge and they will scoop up mouthfuls of the substrate and sift out the goodies.
