Just like Atlantic Stingrays, they can survive in full fresh their entire lives but need perfect water conditions to do so. With a 9 foot predator, that is impossible (even with a huge drip system) so keeping them in fresh is very difficult. These fish should be left on the reef or only taken care of by professionals like Matt (Zoodiver) They look amazing when young but are not aquarium fish at all.

it grew from 3.5" to now, its about 11" in less than a year, in between it was in salt water for over 2 months. I had another one in the store, but now it has been sold and I'm no longer its care taker.
Just a disclaimer. Many literatures have "stated" they move to full marine water when adults, however, that is just what they do, but does not prove that they physiologically require "salt" which is a loose term to survive.
Think of stingrays, flounders, tilapia, gars, snooks, mollies, guppies, pipe fish, salmon, trout, I won't beat this subject any longer. Merry Christmas Everyone
it is best to keep them in marine.
in fact, it's best not to keep them at all unless you have a 20' tank.
