Scats

[deogan]

I have a cichlid tank which also has a pair of scats. I am told by my lfs that scats need high salt in the tank. somewhere around 1-2 grams per litre. Is it true? and if I add that much salt what will happen to my water quality and my other fish that include oscar, green terror, parrot, fire mouth, severum, walking cats and highfin cats (leopard cats).

you are better off asking about the scats in the brackish forum as they will know better how to care for them. I don't think that cichlids generally handle salt well, but I'm not sure on that. Catfish, however, do very poorly in salt. Your best choices are to start up a brackish tank for the scats, or to return them.
