Yes, This is a brackish fish and you must ensure that you a good supply of live food as they are carnivorous and will not survive on frozen foods alone.

Cool!! Remember I used to catch them when I was young, but never really know how to keep them so always die in a short time. Hope you are successful with keeping them, then can teach me
