I am just wondering about these Bumble Gobys I bought. If freshwater is ok for them? The lfs said it was cool to keep them in a reg. freshwater tank. Do they need Brackish water to live?

Also just asking if they are brackish is it possible for them to survive in a salt water tank. I don't want to sound stupid by asking that I am just really curious. Most Gobys i've heard of are Salt water so my wife and I were questioning rather or not they could survive the transfer.

Thanks
 
Ideally they should be in a brackish enviroment. I couldnt' find anything on full marine or not so, I'd say I wouldn't chance it.
 
they are definitly brackish water. Not salt and not fresh. I guess the lowest I would keep them in would be .005 sg (which is really low)
