Aquarium Advice Addict
ehh...im going to sum up this, as i had just typed up a larger article, only to find out it didnt post...
recieving two yellow chromides (a brackish fish) as a gift, i placed them in a tank that freshwater (with 2 TBL aquarium salt per 10 gal) not knowing what they were, let alone brackish. they are now in a 55 gal tank (still with aquarium salt, but not enough to be brackish) and are thriving (they are moving pebbles with their mouthes for what appears to be building a nest even)
ok to the point of this article, seeing brackish fish could live nicely in a freshwater aquarium with some salt but not enough to be brackish, i got a dragon goby (a brackish fish) today as a present
do you guys think the dragon giby will be fine with 1 TBL aqua. salt per 10 gals, in a 55 gal tank or should i add a bit more salt, or will a high salt concentration effect my other fish, kuhli loaches, kissing and moonlight gouramis, neons, columbian tetras, platys, and cherry barbs?
i have a spare 20 gal tank if he needs his own, he's small 5" (and im well aware he can 24")
please im looking for advice, not flames
