sorry to hear about that, they will do fine in freshwater or with a little salt, keep water clean and oxygenated, grows to 20 plus inches in aquariums, larger in the wild, will anything small enough to fit in the mouth. they are very peaceful. P. indicus one of the species that does real well in freshwater.
