Question about fresh and brackish water...?

Question

Do you know of any fish that are fresh water that can be put in brackish water.My brackish water fish are agressive and semi-agressive...for example could you put Oscars or Ciclids in with them?..please give me some ideas or good answers! ;p
Thanks!

I currently have 2 puffers a green scat, a rope eel, and 2 other fish that are the same but I don't recall their names.

Answer 1

You would do best to stick with brackish water fish for your tank. While there are a number of freshwater fishes that can tolorate quite a bit of salt for the short term, it's best not to keep them long term in brackish waters. Without knowing what you have it's hard to suggest anything in particular, but archers, targetfish, monos, chromides, gobies, most livebearers, climbing perches, mudfish and many others you should be able to have a pretty decent community.

Chromides or kirbs are the only cichlids I can think of that would do well in brackish water.

Answer 2

Mollies and guppies can be fresh, brackish or full salt.

Oscars and ciclids cannot live in brackish water.

What type of fish do you have now? It is difficult to say since we don't know what fish you have now.
