	How to do a "brackish" aquarium
Fishyandrew45 Hobbyist Posts: 137 Kudos: 98 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Jul-2004	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?

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. HTH
