As anyone every tried to convert fresh/brackish fish to full salt water? Is it even possible? I made my tank brackish because I bought a green spotted puffer. I know they can go full salt(takes a while I know). I have tiger barbs, danios, otos and a catfish (can't remember the name, starts with a B). If I do it extremely slow, can I convert them all to full salt? I apologize for repeating myself. Thanks guys

Yup you'll need to rehome everything but the green spots. Is the tank already brackish? If so those other fish need to be rehomed immediately
 
Been brackish for months. All my fish are doing great. I converted to brackish over a 2 week span

What's the salinity? Those Otos should be dead. Are you using a marine salt?
 
Im just going to do what Homer did with Pinchy, add just enough salt so that everything floats in the middle of the tank
