Aquarium Fish Sale brackish fish are maintained in LIGHT brackish conditions, the same conditions which our live bearers are kept, so most can be transitioned to all fresh water.

The fish are good companions with other large pet fish, but obviously they are going to ambush and eat all the small pets.
