freshwater - brackish fish

[Warr40]

Hey... I was surfin the web and I noticed that sum brackish water fish can be put in a freshawater tank with sum extra salt is this true if so..
I'm thinking I'll get 3 monos 3 bumblebee gobies and 1 puffer can i do this
are there any peaceful puffers

IMO i really wouldn't do it,it would put stress on the fish, and make them have a shorter life spand, but thats just my opinion.

Freshwater with salt added is brackish!
That's like asking if can you put tropical fish in cold water if you warm it up!

If you mean a tiny amount of salt then no. Most brackish fish require the water to be far saltier than "adding a little salt" and their health would suffer as a result.

Also monos get seriously big and need to be in a shoal. They would eat the bumblebee gobies.

I think that monos go full marine as adults too. (but I could be wrong)

And no. there are no puffers that are guaranteed peaceful.

No puffers are peaceful, the only puffer that I have even hearrd considered peaceful are SAPs, which are freshwater.

IMO, it simply wouldn't work.

Monos are high end brackish fish which require a SG above 1.010 and can be moved into full sea water when adult, as said they are also predatory and will eat smaller fish like bumble bee gobies.

Bumble bee gobies are low end brackish fish which do not do well in a SG above 1.006, they could be kept with figure 8 puffers without problems.
