Wcmm In Brackish Water?

[GoldfishAttentionSpan]

Quick question- can white cloud mountain minnows be kept in slightly brackish water?

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

They would probably survive it, but i don't think it would do any good for them as far as i am aware they are true freshwater fish.

 

[The-Wolf]

given that they are found in high up mountain streams
no they can not live in brackish water.

 

[GoldfishAttentionSpan]

Ok then, fair enough.

Guppies are ok in brackish, though, right?

 

[The-Wolf]

yes.
but how can someone who appreciates danios want such a fish

The actual water part will only be about 5 or 7 gallons, and of course that is no where good enough for the best fish ever (danios, of course). The lowly guppy, on the other hand... (j/k, guppy people please don't kill me! )

Hm, maybe a dwarf puffer, but they need some special care, don't they...

Of course, seeing as the filter is being extremely uncooperative, the fish may have to wait awhile anyway.

Oh, I forgot it wasn't on this thread, I am trying to set up my 10 gallon to be a fiddler crab tank, but I am considering putting a couple fish in it, too. Of course, my filter is pitching a fit and being uncooperative with the low water. Stupid friggin filter.
