Ive seen alot of cool brackfish fish (gobys, puffers, etc) that seem interesting to keep. Im not exactly sure what I need and how to set up a brackish aquarium. Can someone fill me in.
P.S. what min tank size for some gobys or a Green Spotted Puffer?

i believe you could put maybe 2 green spotter puffers in a 55 gallon. But keep in mind as they mature as adults they should be full saltwater. And the tank size for gobys depends what kind youf talking about.

I keep my brackish pretty much the same as I would keep a freshwater but I just add about 1-2 tsp of salt for every ten gallons of water.

Here is an article on how to start a basic brackish aquarium.

GSPs should have at least a 29 gallons as adults. As for gobies, what did you have in mind, they vary greatly in size and requirements. Bumblebee Gobies can be kept in a 5 gallon, where as others, such as the Jade Goby, need a much larger tank.
