brackish community...point me at any threads

[32147]

I am thinking about turning my empty 75G into a brackish community tank. I already have a Green Spotted Puffer and a Marbled Goby in a 29G. I think I might get another GSP or two and I might get some Knight Gobies . I’ve done a bit of research and found a list of fish and plants that are either brackish or can tolerate some salinity. I am not a huge fan of Mollies but they are apparently actually brackish fish and can do well in fresh water. Ideally I’d like to have a school or two of smaller, colourful and fast fish (so as to avoid the puffers) as well as the oddball goby and puffer. I am looking for any experience, suggestions or advice before going ahead. Please point me at any threads that might help me decide. Thanks

No brackish plants are going to do well at the SG that adult GSP's do well in, and most other brackish fish that would fit into a 75 gallon won't appreciate the SG either. The marbled goby and GSP alone will get too big for the 75 and the goby will probably eat the GSP once it gets big enough.

Not the answer I was hoping for....but it is a good thing I asked....thanks for the info Nick. I'll make other plans for the 75G. One of my local fish stores just received some Colomesus Asellus a few days ago so I may pick up some of these and put them in or I may get some new Tetraodon Abei again.

A huge shoal of SAP would be awesome for a 75, that would be great. Once you rehome the marble goby, you will have enough room in the 29 for the GPS anyway.
