I would not suggest converting your tank to brackish if you wish to keep your existing fish. Changing over to brackish is simple enough ... add salt! Of course you would do this gradually over time if you had fish already in there, during your water changes.

It's well worth setting up a new brackish tank because there's so many cool fish you can keep

I'm not sure if Danios are brackish fish . . .

Here are a couple of websites on brackish aquariums.

And my personal favorite:

Read those articles and you should have the answers you seek. Good luck!

Most fish that are meant for freshwater can't live in brackish. Some can though like mollies and guppies.

Danios are not Brackish water fish so they will need to be moved, they will also become food for the Moray.
