I just started a new tank because i wanted a small community tank and well I didn't have a clue about puffers and i got two. Now i'm trying to balance the tank to both. So brackish will kill my mollies and other fish?

hi shellmoments,

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but puffers dont tend to make for good tankmates in a community tank, they are just too aggressive. The mollies will be fine in brackish, but will probably get fin nipped quite a bit.

wat eels are in the vid???

[xaviergal]

they aren't eels, they are violet gobies =)

Wait, how did you get guppies in there?! I thought guppies weren't a brackish species...

Beatiful tank, looks a tad overcrowded though. Probably not, just that I am used to looking at my completely bare fish tank :P.

How hard are those flounders to keep?

[xaviergal]

guppies, like mollies, can be kept in brackish water. The supplier of fancy guppies for my LFS breeds his in brackish water only, apparently they are hardier in these conditions.

I definitely have loads of fry on the go, but the video is a bit deceiving because they have all rushed the front expecting to be fed =)

As for the flounder, they are pretty hard to keep, they prefer live food to the point where most wont eat anything but.

@xaviergal so not true ive had a shool of mollies with 2 gsp for quite some time now i agree they can b if your luck is to land on the killr puffer fish but aye not everyone can be lucky :)

@ShellMoments excuse me ,,, but there many fish you can keep brackish ,, monos most damsels , eels , scats , columbian cats , mollie, guppy and all the live barrers canes sharks , datnoids , acci , gobies , and more but you should check the temperment of these fish , and dont forget brackish is often misinterperated it goes some time quite high in gravity try two table spoons pergallon ,,, ok ?

those violet gobies look like they could just gulp down some of your smaller fish

@pissnuggit guppies and mollies are one of the main fish u could ever have

I love dragonfish so much, I've never had one but i have a freshwater setup with a turtle and cichlids, if i added enough salt so the turtle wasn't irratated, do you think a dragonfish would be ok? the turtle has never shown signs of wanting to eat a fish, but the cichlids might be protective...

[pissnuggit]
