Gourami's, tiger barbs, balas and plecos arnt brackish themselves to start with

Yes, violet goby's need brackish water if you want them to truly thrive
your other fish are obviously all freshwater

I think he knows that hence the question about whether a dragon goby can go in with them

This question was asked by me other week as Pier had them in as freshwater and I was going to get some for my brackish tank. NealeMonks confirmed that they are brackish and he seems to know everything about brackish fish so I would go with him on that one

Great looking fish though

Well this line threw me

... Sounds like hes worried about the goby being not-brackish so not coping in a brackish tank.

I think what everyone else is trying to say is that your gouramis and tiger barbs will not do as well with salt in the water. they dont have organs capable of dealing with salt in the water. IMO I wouldn't suggest it.
