Common name here is Bar tail Flathead.Can actually attain sizes up to 1m.Cool fish and are commonly fished for.While they are found sometimes in the upper freshwater ends of rivers as juveniles they are not Freshwater fish.As they mature they commonly move out to coastal reefs so I am interested to know how he is doing in a freshwater environment.I am not having a dig.I am genuinely interested as this is not the first time I have seen a Flathead(Lizard) in a f/w tank.We have a few species of them here (Dusky being my favorite)and can catch them with ease.I am now curious to see if I can acclimate them to fresh just like our Salmon tail catfish.
