The Green Scat is a fascinating and distinctive fish species. These fish exhibit a predominantly tan to yellow body adorned with prominent brown spots.

Green Scats can grow up to 12 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. They are known for their peaceful nature and generally coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates in an aquarium.

While Green Scats thrive in brackish water, they can adapt to saltwater if properly acclimated. They flourish in aquariums with abundant marine plants and rocks, providing them with places to swim and hide when feeling threatened. These fish can be kept in small groups if introduced when young. Due to their preference for lower salinity environments, they are challenging to care for and are best suited for experienced aquarists or those familiar with the species.

As omnivores, Green Scats require a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. Offering them nori, marine algae sheets, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods will ensure their health and happiness.
