| − | :These fish are very difficult to visually sex with no obvious external differences. | + | |tank_compatibility=:Large brackish fish that should not be kept with smaller species, best kept in a group in a species tank.

Brackish water [[SG]] 1.003 and upward. Their tank should be long and spacious with plenty of open swimming space. |
