Adjusting Guppies To Brackish Water

[GoldfishAttentionSpan]

How do I adjust guppies to brackish water? I just got them today, and for 2 weeks they will be stuck in the quarantine tank with some shrimp and a snail I got for other tanks, so they will be in fresh water until then.

They are 3 males, and will be the only fish in the tank, along with 3 fiddler crabs. 1.005-1.010 is what I am reading that fiddlers need for salt. Can the guppies acclimate to this level of salt? Do I need to add the salt gradually?

i am not sure they'll take it, after all they are freshwater fish, i personally wouldn't even try, but think the best way would be to drip aclimatise them

As mentioned before guppies can take something like 200% saltwater, so that sort of level should be fine.
