question 2

StreetCypher · Apr 18, 2004

Blackfin shark are brackish fish, but i've read that when they mature a little they can live in both fresh or salt water. Would it be unhealthy or deadly to raise one in freshwater. I'm not planning on buying one yet (don't have big enough of a tank) but if i upgrade then i might consider it.

I would not. They need the brackish water, and while they can travel between the two, it's not something that we can effectively mimic. Fish kept in the wrong salinity of water can suffer a variety of ailments, and are more prone to many parasites and diseases.

oh ok

maybe i'll consider other fish then. Thanks for your input

I agree with OG, without the brackish water they may get parasites that you don't want to deal with. $$$$$ :shake:
