Slycone Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 While on my last trip to get some shrimp i caught a few small fresh water mullet about 3cm long. Question is do these live long in a tank atm they are swiming as a schoool very nice to look at but if they wont live long id prefer to put them back.

Sclero p Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 "Freshwater Mullet" is a broad term a few species of Mullet are found in freshwater. If they are feeding they will be fine. Best not to put them back if they have been in a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenterra Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Even though you got them from the wild, it would be a bad idea to put them back once they have been in captive care. You could unknowingly introduce any aquarium strain virus, disease or pathogens etc back into the natural water ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
