Will bangus or milkfish thrive in freshwater pond?

Bangus, or milkfish, primarily thrive in brackish water environments, such as coastal areas where freshwater and saltwater mix. They are not well-suited for freshwater ponds, as their physiology is adapted to higher salinity levels. While they may survive for short periods in freshwater, their long-term health and growth would be compromised. For optimal growth, bangus should be raised in brackish or saltwater conditions.
