Which catfish can live in salt?

Hi :) I have a freshwater tank. I bought a shark catfish a few weeks ago. He seems very happy, but I understand eventually I will need to add sea salt to my tank as he matures. Does anyone know at what point I should begin doing this? I also have a spotted plecostomus and an upside down catfish. Can they live in brackish water? or will I have to keep my shark cat in a seperate tank?

Probably around the 4-6" mark.

That's your only option, I'm afraid.
