When I said small I meant about less than Icm - usually from 1inch to3
inches they are pretty hardy. Even if they are used to freshwater I usually
find after a few months they start to get weak and anorexic and will only
come good if given a decent salt environment for a few weeks to "recharge
their batteries".

In nature they probably go downstream to the estuaries regularly or migrate
tidally
