Common name: Scats

Scatophagus, commonly known as Scats, are a genus of fish in the family Scatophagidae, well-known for their unique ability to thrive in both freshwater and brackish environments. These fish are characterized by their distinctive body shape, often silver or green with black spots or stripes. Scats are omnivorous and can help control algae in the aquarium. They are social fish and do best in groups. Due to their potential size and waste production, they require a large tank with efficient filtration.
