Please get a background. Nothing worse then a decent looking tank with hoses running behind it. Just use black spray paint (gloss). It will cost you $4. This tank is very overstocked, adult sizes and aggression, and I can guarantee you they are not all together now.
@blownable Agreed, none of the African Cichlids are brackish. Chromides can live in fresh, brackish and salt. Some central american cichlids like the Mayan can survive in brackish. There are also Tilapia that can do the same, but Peacocks are not one of them. I guess it depends on the salinity in the tank, if it's only 1.005 or less, it may be OK. The owner may only be using aquarium salt, and not sea salt, or no salt at all. Dempseys and Cons tolerate salt pretty good, even Jewel cichlids too.
what would be some good tank mates for a figure 8 puffer in a 40 gallon tank, right now i have 5 mollies and a silvertip catfish, im not sure what else to get, i would do bumblebee gobys but the catfish would eat them, my tanks set up more like a freshwater style, i really dont have many rocks (actually just one) and a fake stump for fish to hide in, and like 10 plants that makes plenty of hiding places
I have a cichlid tank and I thought you couldn't mix other fish with them??? Now i also have a 10 gallon tank that was supose to be for community fish and got two puffers not knowing a thing about them. What the heck is brackish water???
What type of cichlid is tat it looks familiar like some type of african cichlid
I just finished setting up 2 brackish tanks 1 20 gallon and 1 55 gallon and i would really like to be able to keep him in the 55 gallon. what is your SG?
Tilapia, Mayan Cichlid, Zebra Tilapia, Flowerhorn Cichlid... The fishes I've mentioned are found in saltwater areas in Singapore. I've seen a flowerhorn cichlid swimming on the coast!
Im so confused about the cichlids

Lmao, if he is using aquarium salt, he doesn't have brackish water. Aquarium salts, except for treating parasitic infections, are a waste of money.

some chiclids are brackish tolerant...though they like much less salt content then those monos and puffers do.
