Polota in brackish?

[Madou]

Hey guys,

I've ordered three Polotas for my brackish setup, because I just couldn't do without at least one of the monster fishes I used to keep as i've read everywhere they are brackish.

I checked the sticky in this section to see if I could find additional infos, and it turns out it is listed as Freshwater... Granted they all are in the sticky!

Can someone please reassure me that I did not make a mistake?

Thanks!

Fishbase has it listed as a brackish water fish, so I guess it would be okay. Is it for your 6ft. brackish setup?

Should be fine. They are caught in rivers and estuaries that are brackish.

6.5' but yeah, I'm still experimenting, since I lowered the salinity a bit.
I can't find the plants that accept the higher salinity, and my young fish accept the lower range.
I tend to try them young and see which I like most!
