Silver Scat Spot-banded (Selenotoca multifasciata) is a striking brackish display fish for experienced keepers. It is not a small beginner freshwater fish, so the listing needs to be clear about adult size, salinity and long-term space.
| Scientific name | Selenotoca multifasciata |

Set up a large, mature aquarium with hard alkaline water and a plan to increase salinity as the fish grows. Choose robust brackish companions and avoid delicate freshwater-only species.
Feed a varied omnivorous diet with algae-based foods, vegetable matter, pellets and occasional frozen foods. A varied diet helps support colour and condition in active scats.
