Has anyone here ever kept colombian sharks (Arius seemani) in full strength saltwater?
 
I have seen them in full salt at my lfs but mine are in full fresh (there still babys). Any particular reason your asking?
 
I am going to acclimate @15 to full strength salt water. I have done a little research and they should be fine. From what I understand they live in fresh/brackish water when young, but move to higher salinities as they mature. i plan to slowly acclimate them over 3-4 weeks then introduce them to my main system.
 
OscarCichlid what size tank do you have yours in, they can get relatively large (up to 2 feet)
