Food
The Scat is the true omnivore and will eat anything of meat or veggie substance. This fish will even eat fecal matter produced by other fish.
Sexing
There is no known method for sexing this species without harming them.
Breeding
Little is known about the breeding habits of the Scat fish but some believe that breeding takes place in salt water and the young migrate to brackish or freshwater.
Lifespan
The lifespan of a Scat can be relatively long if all of their needs are met. A well cared for species can live between 10 and 20 years.
Origin
The Scat can be found in estuaries and streams where fresh and salt waters come together. They can even be found in completely marine areas. This fish can be found in coastal waters from Japan to Australia.
Short Description
The Scat can be wild caught in both fresh and brackish bodies of water. Once in the fish stores, there is no way of telling whether your Scat came from fresh or brackish water. If your fish came from fresh water there is more of a chance of it surviving in the aquarium. Most specimens come from brackish or even salt water and are more particular about their water conditions.
Scatophagus argus
belong to the scat family (Scatophagidae) and occur in 2 basic color morphs which are called
Green Scat
and
Ruby Scat
or
Red Scat
. As a whole, the species is called
Spotted Scat
. This fish is generally distributed around the Indo-Pacific region, to Japan, New Guinea and Southeastern Australia. They are quite popular aquarium fish.
These fish are kept for their looks and curious behavior, especially in body structure resembling the famous discus fish. Unlike the delicate freshwater discus cichlids, the scats are hard fish of brackish and seawater that tolerate freshwater only when young. Otherwise they are fairly easy to keep, and they look very beautiful with black spots on their body.
As a baby they live in a fresh water environment, but as they mature they move to salt water environment. Since they do not live in temperate waters, they require at least a little warmth (21C to 28C).
As a young they may not require a big aquarium but they can grow big, so big aquarium with salty water is much preferred for this fish. This species is fairly peaceful if enough space is given. But sometimes they harass other species.
The Common Scat is omnivorous and an indiscriminate eater. Food includes vegetables, small animals and debris, and they usually readily take frozen and flake food. They also tend to eat aquarium plants. And due to their eating habit they are quite messy fish, requiring a strong filtration. Ironically, for older specimens water quality is actually a bigger issue the saltier the water – in the purest freshwater (as required by many rainforest fish) they will quickly succumb, tolerating hard and somewhat dirty freshwater far better. In seawater, their messy eating habits make buildup of toxic protein decay prioducts a significant issue to be controlled, if they are kept in groups as they prefer given enough space.
Scatophagus argus
is eaten by some people from its original environment, and can sting with small spikes in its anterior parts, inflicting a venom that causes pain greater than the wound size, and dizzyness. Treatment of the wound is often done by soaking the infliction in hot water.
