well I got a chance to obtain a small school of Arius graeffei, fish are still very small - about 2,5cm long any special needs they have but a big tank :P?
thanks

They are fairly hardy fish that require no special needs. Leggett & Merrick state that the fish will jump if alarmed.

I search the net for some info and few pages stand that they will survive only in brackish/marine water however on PC there is nothing about adding salt to water and Silurus also write this so I belive that they will live in freshwater also so happy as in brackish :). I found also page with list of rivers in australia and fish which live there and there was A.graeffei so one more vote for keeping them happy in pure freshwater tank but I just want to be sure :). Thanks for replies :D Switchblade and Silurus.
