anyone ever tried keeping one. I've heard they can be keptin fresh water as well as salt or brachish water.this would be a sic fish to keep
They are rather interesting and I was fond of mine before dropping it in alcohol.. Oh yeah they are impossible to keep beyond juvenile so it is best to leave them alone.. want an interesting "close to" try the Skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris also a pain to keep but it is at least feasible..

Oh does one drop a fish into alcohol?
Why difficult? Because of size?

I've seen roughly 2 feet long Pacific tarpons cruising happily at rather fast speed in a huge marine tank, so a huge tank is a must for long term keeping of this fish.
