    so my former gf thinger came to me asking about silver tip sharks in saltwater and wanted me to take 1 into my care to get it uber healthy for her not doing so well tank.this is the only way we have been able to get fish to live in her tank.(long story on that check my really old posts if interested) all parameters are good 5ppm nitrates is all.

    my question is how tough are these guys in saltwater and what would sutable tankmates be?

    They can be slowly acclimated to seawater but as the article says they are brackish fish when young.
