oh boy:(. I read an article on the golden wonder killifish that this fish will eat anything smaller. This fish will eat neon tetra,brine schrimp etc...
I love these fish. I've thought about getting some, but all my freshwater
tanks are full, and my brackish tank is open-top, so I don't think that
would work out for long. Lol
+Dan Hiteshew no way man. It helps me learn also. Collaboration is a friend of mine. +the inquisitive fish guy 71 I have put much thought into a puffer tank. But I have too much going on right now. Maybe in the future.
+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 remember, the salts are not simply suspended in the water, they are disolved into it. the only time it will disassociate if due to evaporation or saturation. The saturation point of salts on water is what,s known as brine and not much can live in water that salty.the process of evaporation will gradually increase your S.G. so be sure to use RO water as your top-off water.
+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 I don't have any. LolI have vague recollections of those terms, but I don't think circulation has any impact on that at all. if you're wondering about the salts precipitating out of the water, then no. no worries.
+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 no. Brackish is a term used to describe the S.G. (specific gravity = salinity)Anything between 1.005 and 1.010 is considered brackish.
+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 If you want to ease the stress on a "brackish fish" that's in freshwater, but don't want an actual brackish tank, you can add aquarium salt (not marine salt). This will give the euryhaline (brackish) animal added sodium, but won't bother the freshwater animals.As far as "simulating" a brackish environment, you either have brackish water, or you don't.
Natural habitat is brackish but they do well in freshwater. Mine is flourishing in my tanks. I think the ones raised in aquariums are better suited for fresh. But the ones taken from the wild should probably stay in brackish although could very well be slowly acclimated to fresh.

Thanks for the extra info. For the project in general we had to state their
habitat, some of the threats they face, what has been done to protect them,
and what my opinion is in general. I could have added more information but
its a big class and we can't all have long videos because it would take all
class to see them, and I know it might not seem to be the case but this
actually took me nearly 5 hours to do.
It was letting people know that sea turtles are not just sea turtles, but
fill specific niches in the oceans. Loggerheads eat molluscs off the ocean
floor. Leatherbacks feed on jellyfish. Green sea turtles graze on eel
grass. Hawksbills will feed on sponges. Olive ridley feed on crustaceans
such as crabs, shrimps, and lobsters. These different diets keeps species
from competing for food sources.
They have big and powerful jaws, for going after large molluscs, that dwell
on the ocean floor. They are known as benthic eaters, and fill that niche
among the sea turtles.
