first venture into brackish water

Post by bertie 83 »

So after breeding cichlids i have a fully cycled 90 litre tank. I am thinking about maybe setting this up as a brackish tank. Now seems simple but any consideration i need to pay special attention to, done plenty of research but wanted to check in incase anything is easy to overlook. is this tank big enough for 2 fig 8's or green spots of are there any other options f/w or b/w even a single small puffer. now that my lineatus is looking tip top fancy another little guy, thanks in advance :)

Certainly not big enough for a GSP but a F8 with some BBGs would be very comfortable in there.
