Brackish fish.

[cbseven]

I have had three ballon mollies, and two Bumblebee gobies in a freshwater tank for about 6 months. No salt straight fresh water. I had one outbreak of ick. But nothing else. Everyone seems to be fine but now ive done some more research if come to the fact there brackish fish. 8O Should I change my tank to brackish or leave it how it is. What would be better for them now.

I change it over to brackish.....but slowly not all at once.

Agreed. The goby needs the salt to thrive and be at its healthiest and mollies love the salt. It's a perfect match! I have a brackish tank of guppies and a knight goby and it has worked out wonderfully.

I have kept a BW bb goby and Celebes tank for a couple of years. Converting the tank is not hard and it will open up a new area of the hobby for you I know I have described in detail how to slowly convert a FW tank to BW in the past and you should be able to find using the search feature.
