salt to brackish
 

what saltwater fish can be converted to brackish? does anyone know of any stores in the lowermainland or vancouver that sell brackish fish

Big Als sometimes has brackish.

Don't talk to any of the kids in the back fish room though. The first question I would ask is ....... who here knows the most about fish..... and talk to that person. :biggrin:

Damsels can go brackish as well as chromis.
Mollies like brackish too.

I had a brackish tank for a while. Some of the fish are pretty interesting.
I found it hard to find fish and almost no inverts can go brackish. I had zebra snails and they did quite good.

I've seen domino damsels in a brackish tank as well as spotted puffers.

Marine fish that can adapt to brackish
 

You can try the following types of marine fish:

Puffers (Arothron hispidus)
Batfishes (Platax spp.)
Snappers (Lutjanus spp.)
Damselfishes (family Pomacentridae)
Catfishes (Plotosus spp.)
Seahorses (family Syngnathidae)

I found it very informative when I set up my brackish system.

Personally, I only have experience converting brackish fish into marine. I always wanted a humbug so I might try this myself...

Seen a really neat tank with mud skippers plus other fish. Tank was long with a beach rising one on side.

Some brackish sections on WWM http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mudskippers.htm

i always remember seeing mollys and mono's in brackash systems.
