[GodFan]

I work night shift. Breaks can be boring so I have the AA app. So tonight I want you to teach me something. Anything you want that might be odd. I have a good hamdle on the hobby but can always learn!

I am starting ky first brackish tank soon so that would be a good teaching subject

God bless!

Here's an interesting read. I've never considered brackish before. What do you plan to keep in your brackish tank?

Very interesting! I plan to keep waspfish (butterfly gobies) and everglades flounder. I want something else not bottom dwelling but not sure what yet

I know nothing of brackish but a lionfish (stonefish) would be cool if you have proper tank size.

That is what I originally wanted but I cant seem to find any. I really like the oyster stonefish!

 

[Bichir Bro]

Yeah
I've never seen one, only the salt water ones!

There's glass fish that are brackish. They are a type of tetra I believe

 

[GodFan]

I would do a saltwater one. If I could find one at a reasonable price. They wouldnt be as demanding as most salty fish since most of them are used to salinity changes I believe.
The only reason I wont go salt is because I know I will not be able to keep the sg steady.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Haha yeah
Out of curiosity how big is your brackish tank?

 

[GodFan]

20 gallon tall.

20 gallon tall.

cool! Surprisingly in brackish there's a lot you can do with a 20 gallon.

Like? I have seen alot of people saying it is limited. I dont want bumble bee gobies and thats the big one I see recomended. I wanted this tank to have 1 really mean lookin fish. Thats why I wanted a toadfish. Then I settled on waspfish. Small mean venomous fish lol

 

[Bichir Bro]

Well that link rmiller provided had In it a nice list of fishes that will work but most of them were small Innocent fishes. As far as I know a single wasp fish would be best for what you're wanting.

A single one? I was gonna get 4 lol that list only had a few fish for a 20 gallon. I would even go freshwater if shown a mean largish fish for it.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Can you tell how much I know about brackish yet? Lol I have no clue on them, only seen a few pictures. You could probably do four but I'm not really the person that would know.

 

[Alan79]

Haha. I know asmuchabout brackish as Bichir but i was just looking at some of the brackish types you can get and these guys look pretty fun.

They need dry land so you would have to make a terrace for them.

Hopefully they will be ok. If I find out they cant I will try and find a stonefish afterall lol

What about green spotted puffer. They are my favorite fish. They look cute but are nasty eaters they can crunch up anything with a shell. They don't do well with tank mates so they are the nasty fish you are looking for but they also have a puppy dog like personality greeting you when you come in so they wont get boring. They are fun little fish and they are brackish.

Really? I ditched plans for a 40g brackish because (here at least) the commonly available brackish fish grow too large.

Very cool! Would one be ok with a few waspfish since itbis venomous?
