Scatophagus. They feed on inverts and detritus that is scavenged off the
bottom. This is a fish best kept in brackish water as they are found in
estuaries and harbors. Occasionally they are found in the lower reaches of
streams. I have never kept them but they are on the list to return with. I
want to have a tank with them and some mono's. I will let you know how they
do....
