Not true actually as adults they will migrate back into freshwaters... This is a remarkable fish that is alittle hard to say is "Fresh", "Brackish" or "Marine" as it will live in all types of water through out it's live cycle. For the best results you can hope for with this type of fish, Freshwater... as mentioned till around 4-6" then slowly adding salt to the tank over a few weeks to months to bring it to brackish, then over the next few years you can either leave it or move to full marine.

Im talking about keeping them in captivity. IME, they dont do well if kept in freshwater after a certain point. Im sure most aquarists are not going to simulate their migration back to freshwater to breed...
 
nice. hope you have better luck than i did with the total SPAZ I had
