can I mix scat fish with other species in tanks or pond? Just wondering if scat fish are agressive and bites

Answer 1

Scats are agressive as a whole, but more importantly they are brackish water fishes and require quite a bit of salt in their water. More than the typical freshwater fish will find comfortable long term. So either keep the scat as a single fish or mix it only with other brackish water fishes.

Answer 2

The Scat is fairy easy to keep. They are very active and fairly peaceful species that require a large tank with plenty of room for swimming. The addition of some marine mix in the water will be beneficial. They are really omnivorous and will eat almost anything including live, flake, or frozen. Some vegetable matter should also be included and they have been known to eat aquarium plants. Due to their voracious feeding habits, excellent filtration is needed as well as frequent vacuuming of the gravel substrate. Water changes are a must as young specimens do not tolerate high levels of nitrates. As they mature they will have to be moved to a pure sea water tank, but this process can take many years.

Answer 3

The problem with scat fish are they are brackish water fish and most pond fish can't survive long term with that amount of salt. Scat fish are nice to have but I wouldn't try mixing them with fresh water pond fish.

Answer 4

I wouldn't recommend you do that. Scats are brackish water fish and need salt in their water which goldfish can't tolerate. As a small fry, they should be fine but as they grow they need to move on to brackish water.

Answer 5

not with pond fishes, Scats tend to love the brackish water settings rather than freshwater.

So you should keep them in brackish water along with others like monos, and archers.
