from my info true brackish water does'nt start untill 1.010 so mine is about 1.014. I have taken your info and went looking and found Olive Nerite Snails I think that this might be what I am looking for and thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fish that would be a good tank cleaner for brackish water. thanks for any input.

I have a brackish tank that is 77 gal in size. I have 4 columbian sharks and 2 scat fish and a dragon fish and a pleco and they all live happly. However I got all my fish at a very young age and for the plecos sake I started at a low sg level and took an extreamly long time to get it to were it...
