brackish

I am interested in giving away my fish; however, I'd rather hand them off rather than mail them, so if anyone is near the Johnson City, TN, area, I have: 1) 1- hog choker (Trinectes maculatus), about 7 years old I haven't measured salinity in a while, but it's around 1.006 I...

Does anyone know the salinity a silver datnoid should be at? I have a larger banded archerfish whose in freshwater and I’d like to get him over to brackish alongside a silver dat I want to purchase in the near future.

Hi, I have 6 green chromides, etroplus suratensis for sale. $25 each. Retail was $35 each so already discounted. Would prefer to sell as a group. They are about 2” or bigger. Eating flakes and growing well. Just selling because I need the tank space to raise fry. They can thrive in fresh...

I wasnt sure what heading to use for this question so I just put all the keywords in there. I have done research online but haven't found anything to be a solid enough answer. 3 Questions in short: - Is Saltwater Nitrifying Bacteria (SNB) exactly the same bacteria as found in Brackish water...

I recently read that ornate bichirs can live in brackish and even saltwater. Anyone know if that's true?

So my brackish water frogfish has developed a weird lump under his mouth (throat area) a week or so ago and I was think it’s a goiter, though I’m not sure. Thankfully it doesn’t seem stressed, though I’m a bit worried. I will admit its diet hasn’t been great as I haven’t been able to stop and...

Dichotomyctere (Formerly a part of Tetraodon) is a rather small genus of mostly similarly-sized pufferfish, containing three of the most popular aquarium puffers in the world: Dichotomyctere nigroviridis, the green-spotted pufferfish, Dichotomyctere ocellatus, the figure eight pufferfish, and...

This is a Nandus black tiger leaffish. Not to be confused with black tiger badis. An LFS had one some of these not long ago but I did not end up getting any. They were $15. Are these totally freshwater, or brackish like some other Nandus? How big do they get? I couldn't find a ton of info. Are...

I posted this thread on a couple of cool Anguilla ("true" eel) species that are underappreciated in aquariums about a month ago. Well, here is a continuation. Please note that this thread does not include spiny eels, swamp eels, or any other fish that is commonly sold as an eel without actual...

Does anyone have any info on Pike Congers or where to find them? I think they're sometimes seen at some Asian markets but are practically non-existent in the aquarium trade. Does anyone know where to find them live? Doesn't have to be an aquarium site, can literally be on a food site. Just as...

Interesting species, am looking for a live specimen. Little is known about their aquarium care. If anyone knows where to find one, please let me know

Does anyone know where to find Omobranchus ferox? I know fugupuff had some a while ago but I can not find any currently available

So, I've come across a couple sources that claim that certain types of guitarfish have been known to occasionally appear in brackish, sometimes even freshwater habitats. The following sources all mention this somewhere if you look for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitarfish...

I've attracted a huge swarm of baby checkered puffers by offering some cocktail shrimp. All puffers love eating seafood: shrimp, scallops, clams, and crabs. They can't resist it. These are native North American puffers Sphoeroides testudineus. They frequent brackish and marine estuaries...

Could anyone here recommend a store (online or physical) where one could obtain Banded Archerfish for a reasonable price? (Preferably UNDER $30 per fish with a shipping cost that's not too ridiculous. I'm not exactly broke but I am a little tight.) I've been looking for them for a while, but...

All, I have a brackish tank with mudskippers and 2 hog chokers ( Trinectes maculatus). I've had both groups of fish since 2017. One of my hogchokers appears to always have a full belly (pretty obvious on the flatfish). I typically feed them earthworms once or twice a week. Usually the...

Hi Guys, Ive kept freshwater and marine tanks before, going to try my hand at a brackish one now. In your experience, what is the minimum salinity in which a protein skimmer becomes effective? Thanks.

I have two white cheek morays that I am looking to rehome. They are in a low end brackish tank and need to go to a brackish setup. Pick up in Somerville/bridgewaterr NJ Please let me know if interested

Hey guys, not too sure what section this should be in so I chose this one. Being able to experience keeping a young bumblebee grouper (E. lanceolatus) has been a dream of mine for a while now, and I’ve been heavily considering buying one from wes. However, I only have a 180gal and obviously that...

Thanks to Wes, @fugupuff convincing me to step out of my comfort zone and try these Caranx ignobilis aka giant trevally and ultimately stay in the hobby... To be honest, brackish never interested me because the only fish I ever saw were scat and mono's which were basically angelfish to me, not...
