I do believe they can tolerate fw , ive seen them in fw tanks on a couple of occasions but not sure if it is good for the fish in the long term.

Ok according to wikipedia , the fry live in the sea before moving to brackish water mangrove habitats and/or lakes , then moving to the sea again to reproduce. And as they grow to 1+ meters i guess its ok to keep them.in a fw tank .
