Can sucker fish live in salt water?

Answer 1

Bowls are not suitable containers for any kind of fish. The basic rules for keeping any kind of fish successfully are . :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (Most sucker fish grow to over 5 inches) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter.(This converts the Ammonia that is created by all fish into Nitrate):- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.(This stops the build up of excess Nitrate) A heater/thermostat is also needed for sucker fish because they are tropical in their requirements and need to be kept at around 78F. If you stick to the above rules a fish will stand a chance of survival. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that your fish will have health problems constantly and will die before it should.

Answer 2

Some sucker fish can indeed live in salt water conditions. Most sucker fish though will tend to prefer fresh water conditions.

Answer 3

Yes they do. I've caught one in the river rock pond before.

Answer 4

Generally, if you have a big enough tank and you put some snails in there, it should be fine since the suckerfish are not aggressive to snails.

Answer 5

not until it is at least 10 inches
