Carandiru Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 So I'm just wondering if I'm alone here but I currently have a brackish system with a salinity currently of 12ppt / 1.009 sg I have successfully acclimated a Red Tail Black Shark, Bala Shark, Zebra Fish to this system. The ph is 7.6 to 7.8 0 ammonia 0 nitrite, not sure about the nitrates but very low. There is a lot of flow in the system, live plants (java ferns, anubias, etc ), protein skimmer & purigen and a whisperex 70. 18000k lighting with led actinic exotic strips. There is also a Green Spotted Puffer, mollies and a Xray/Glass fish (these are brackish fish though) So just wondering if anyone else has some similar experiences ?

Sprucegruve Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 mollys aren't 100% brackish,i have had best experiences growing them up in FW then once they get to be adults slowly acclimate them to brackish. other than that i have no experience with putting FW fish in a brackish tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyCustom Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Not too sure if that Bala is going to like it. They're not exactly lovers of salt from my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
