    So after reading SkyFire's nano thread i decided to look at some brackish fish. But how exactly do i convert them to saltwater? I'm assuming i start them off in a complete freshwater and slowly adjust the salinity a little bit every day?

    did you really read it. cuz i just did and i learned everything i needed to know about it in there. you need 2 tanks and acclimate it to the salty conditions gradually. Idk what else to say..

    the saltwater guy is obviously just looking for some help with brackish fish, there is no need for unnecessary comments provoking arguments.

    as for the brackish water fish, mollies are probably the easiest to acclimate to saltwater, i once put one in to feed my snowflake eel( i know thats bad) but he didnt eat them and they just ended up living in the tank for quite some time until he eventually did. but scats and pufferfish are good choices as well.

    type "brackish fish" in that google search bar on here and research i just did and found a plethora of info on it. you don't have to post a new thread for every question you have. do some diggin around of your own. youll be suprised what you see.
