hey there I'm new to this site and I was wondering if anyone knew any catfish that can live in brackish?

and other species in the family Ariidae.

and a few larger Aspredinidae, Banjo's like Aspredo and Platystacus. although the latter do just fine on pure freshwater as well. they're rare in the trade, but at least Platystacus is easy to keep and quite tough as well. it's a voracious feeder that can eat small tankinhabitants as well.

these range from the rivers to the mouths and estuaries of rivers as well, so they can tolerate salt. how much I don't know. but they're no marine fishes like the Ariids.

some Plotosidae are also brackish or fully marine. but they're very rare in the hobby. and they can give highly poisonous stings.
