Wow thanks for the info. I found more about these under the common name Columbian shark. I kept brackish tanks for years, and don't think I've ever seen/heard of these before.

I think most of the brackish fish will survive in full strength saltwater. I have seen people keep Bumblebee Gobies and Figure 8 Puffers at marine SG. Both of which are traditionally considered either low SG brackish, or freshwater fish.

I got that but on the link u posted it said they can live in 1 degree to 30 degree hardness isn't that the measurement of salinity ?

I don't think hardness and salinity really correlate. Wikipedia says hard water is water that has high mineral content (mainly calcium and magnesium ions).


Nothing I have seen on google imples that iridescent sharks are euryhaline. If you are really set on finding out, I would recommend emailing Neale Monks. He is the maintiner of the Brackish Water Aquarium FAQ.



you could aways get a few and try it.  Thats what I did to get my saltwater guppies I use to raise and sell

There aren't very many catfish in saltwater, so I started some research about 15  years ago looking for a viable catfish for saltwater aquariums, I like the look and activity of most, anyway I found some info on the Arius jordani that sounded good, I found a few and proceded to acclimate in my 55. The 55 leaked and I lost my school except 1 which made it into the 300 with the other eels and sharks. This link should give you a bitmore info on the fish. http://fish.mongabay.com/ariidae.htm Have fun with it just dont mix them with the larger Pomocanths, they like them as lunch from my experience.
HOLD MY BEER, I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING...
