Though it is happening more often these days. Usually they will live in fresh water, but not as long as they will in brackish. And they will almost certainly breed in brackish for you. As for the fish, they are moderately aggressive, and will usually accept most all types of foods, even prepared foods. There is always a bigger fish... |

They might pick on your gouramis a bit, and they'd really do better with some marine salt in the water that the other fish wouldn't really tolerate. I'd recommend them for any brackish tank, as they're small, hardy, and colorful, but I'd recommend against them for a purely freshwater community tank. |
