Are These Brackish?

[Kevin_D]

Can this species be kept in brackish water?

I already keep a Neritina natalensis, and lots of Melanoides tuberculata with my Mudskippers, and have done for around 6-8 months with no problems, and was thinking of adding a couple more Snails.

Those are Clithon sp., likely Clithon corona though there are many species and telling them apart is difficult. Many Clithon spp. snails are indeed brackish water tolerant. Clithon corona is an estuarine species and has a wide salinity tolerance comparable to your mudskippers. I believe the larvae are fully marine.
