Not sure about brackish tanks, but a small school of Otto Cats will work with the kribs

I'm thinking of getting a couple of Oto's myself for my tetra tank, from what I hear they are great little fish. I have no idea about the brackish tank but have you looked into any shrimp? That might be an idea.

Hi,
For some algae control in a brackish water tank, I would
go to this site:

http://www.planetinverts.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72&zenid=1d01c8a2736b8029eb6449213db6a6a7

Any of the "Nerite" snails would be perfect.

Puffers would be likely to eat any snails.

chances are anyhting you put in thge brackish tank will end up food, so i would just say throw in a bunch of MTS and cheapo snails.
