What to know before you buy.
The Green Scat is a robust, disc-shaped fish known for its greenish-gray body covered in dark spots. Juveniles start in freshwater but must be acclimated to brackish and eventually full marine conditions as they age to thrive. They are voracious omnivores with a significant need for vegetable matter in their diet.
