Hi Stephen
Scats grow up to be fairly lage and most people keep them in brackish
water. I have found that they make their living in the aquarium nipping the
fins on every thing that they can bite a chunck out of and they also hog
the foods and drive the other fish away from it.
Most of the people that keep scats also keep monos in the tanks with them.
They are sort of a greenish color flat fish with black spots. I think it is
easier to clean the tank and do regular water changes. Add at least a
tablespoonful of salt per gallon. Keep the tank at 80 f and hope that when
you buy them you get them without velvet or ich for most of them in shops
don't last long. I do not recall anyone breeding them.
