Brackish Fish

[smudger72]

I managed to get some Orange chromides and a few other fish so thought I would show the full range of fish in the tank now.

There are F8's,wasp fish,knight gobies,orange chromides and a green chromide.
There are some bumblebee gobies as well but I just need to catch the little ******s and then they can go into another tank as I know that both the wasp fish and knight gobies will eat them.
I thought I would try a community brackish tank, I have a spare tank which I can seperate any problem fish into.

No it's a green chromide.

Very nice tank! I have been toying with the idea of setting up a brackish tank and you are making me start to really want one.

I would have loved Archerfish, mono's, scats ect but space and salinity issues don't permit.That and the wife doesn't like my 3 tanks as it is.
She will blow a gasket if I have to set up the 100l tank if the puffers go mad

You could still get a Toxotes micorlepis archerfish if you wanted, they tolerate low brackish.

I keep a brackish tank and the archers are great, except my brackish tank is by my bed, and he regularly spits on me while I sleep (no joke). It must be deliberate, out of a whole bed, why does he always get my head?

Green chromides are a great fish as well, if you look up on google, you might find some details on the symbiosis that green chromides and orange chromides share.

I wanted a microlepsis but brackish fish are rare as rocking horse manure in the deepest darkist areas of south west england.
I had to get the Orange chromides,wasp fish and knight gobies mail order from wholesale tropicals because no one stocks them here.
My LFS has 2 archerfish which I still think are microlepsis but a few other people think are Jaculatrix(spelling?)

I got the chromides because of the interaction people have mentioned, nothing to report as yet though. I should add that the green chromide is the boss of the tank even the puffers get out of the way

Ah, okay.

you must setup a video camera before you sleep and catch him in action!
