We're building our brackish water fish database. Brackish tanks offer a unique challenge and host fascinating species like mollies, archerfish, puffers, and mudskippers!

💧 What is Brackish Water?

Brackish water is a mix of freshwater and saltwater, typically found in estuaries, mangroves, and coastal areas where rivers meet the ocean. The salinity is higher than freshwater but lower than full saltwater.

Typical Parameters:

  • Salinity: 1.005-1.015 specific gravity
  • Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
  • pH: 7.5-8.5
  • Hardness: 10-25 dGH

Common Brackish Species:

  • • Mollies (can adapt to brackish)
  • • Figure 8 Puffer
  • • Archerfish
  • • Mudskippers
  • • Monos and Scats
