Its about 6 inches, currently hiding so pictures will be coming shortly.

So i already know they are brackish, however Im curious as to what salinity level people have had success with. Seems like quite a few people on the board have been unsuccesful with keeping such fish. Lets hear some success stories :popcorn:

Awesome fish, don't see them all the time. Not sure on what salinity they do best in, but i know they can tollerate a very high salinity. I know that doesnt help but...
 
I own one my self and it is doing great so far with no salt at all. It has been a month and a half and it looks better now than when I bought it. I keep it well fed with platy's.

have you had any luck feeding it frozen food!?
 
I had one for a little while. They are really picky eaters.
 
I have two of these. The larger one has been in total fresh for the last 15 months, the smaller one for the last 3½ months. The smaller one laid eggs last week, no idea if the other is a male or not though. Unfortunately I've had to be away from home for a while so the eggs have had to stay put where they are. No telling yet if they will have hatched when I get home. Fingers crossed.
