I thought these things were brackish water critters?
there's no mention of this in the info, or maybe I'm wrong?

not the kind of mistake when keeping them; brackish fish often don't fare well in soft, acidic water; unless it's not a brackish species at all, of course.

Adults are usually found in the tidal reaches of rivers, but I don't think they are exclusively brackish. The young ones appear to spend most of their time in freshwater.
People also don't seem to be reporting major problems keeping them in freshwater.

Nice find! I personally like the larger species.
