Anubias in brackish water..?

My favorite plant is Anubias [in all its varieties]. Attached to bogwood or rocks it grows happily in all my freshwater tanks (and much faster than its reputation would suggest).
I would love to grow it in my soon-to-be-set-up brackish water tank (SG 1.004/5) for a F8P and some BBGs. What are the chances of it surviving? Would it thrive, just hang on to life, or curl up its toes and die?

The leaves of my anubias started to deteriorate when I put it in brackish water.

Mine is holding it's own in 1.005 but is not growing. Many of the older leaves are yellowing.

Mine started yellowing and eventually died. There was never any new growth.
