Gupies, Brackish Water Ok?

[Fried rice]

Is a brackish water setup ok for a guppy?

 

[helterskelter]

yes they will of you move them across slowly, you need to allow the body to adapt the to salt levels which will take several days if done correctly.

so would i have to put them in a glass bowl and slowly add the salt water?

 

[helterskelter]

idearly yes you want to keep them in freshwater then daily add a few more grams of salt till you match you main tank's salinity.

Do you only have guppies or do you have other fish? if you only have guppies then there is no point in keeping them in brackish water...

I was planning on buying a ten or fifteen gallon tank and make it two thirds water and one third land and use sand as a substrate and keep fiddler crabs as well as guppies

Won't the crabs eat the guppies?
