Yes it is, but they can be raised easily in fresh water too. Almost all people now raise them in fresh water. She used to be alot smaller too haha(She is the right DBT)
OMG she is hideous, I think you need to get her out of your stock quick. I will take her off your hands for you, I know, big of me, but someone has to take that ugly thing
She is really nicely patterned.
Oh, I'm so jealous! In Texas you are not allowed to keep them as pets, which is so disappointing. I do see them in the wild fairly often though, which is fun.
