The Four Eyed Fish or Anableps is an extremely unusual brackish water fish found along the coastline of Northeastern South America. Their name comes from the fact that these fish have specially adapted eyes with a membrane that effectively splits each eye into two parts, allowing them to simultaneously see above and below the waters surface. Due to this unique feature, Four Eyed fish are typically found floating at the surface, seeking out insects and other food items which might fall toward the water. Like many brackish water fish they regularly move between pure fresh and pure marine waters but will do best in moderate-strength brackish water (15 to 20 ppt) in the aquarium. A social species, they are usually found in groups in the wild and will do well when kept together in the aquarium. This specialized fish was once a somewhat common import but has been absent in the hobby for years; only recently has this species become available again in the trade by way of Brazil.

A rarity in the aquarium hobby, the Jungle Perch or Spotted Flagtail is widely distributed species throughout the Indo-Pacific and Northern Australia, where they are typically found in freshwater or lightly brackish water coastal streams. Although this species spawns in the ocean and larvae develop there, juvenile to adult fish tend to be found in freshwater streams or pools, often in areas of strong current where they are typically found in large groups. An omnivore, the Jungle Perch feeds on smaller fish, invertebrates, and fruit and plant matter in the wild and will accept most prepared and frozen foods in the aquarium. With their vivid spotted pattern and active nature, this fish makes a unique addition to a larger predatory fish community aquarium.

Originating from the coastal waters of Western India and Bangladesh, the Horned Blenny is one of a very few species of Blenny that inhabits fresh and brackish waters in the wild. A medium sized, active fish with an attractive, variable pattern of stripes and a notable ear shape marking, this fish inhabits a wide variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat, but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but will do best in at least moderate strength brackish water (10-20ppt salinity). They can be hard on similar-sized tankmates and tend to spar with each other over territory, so be sure to provide plenty of cover and hiding places. They are best kept with larger fast swimming fish.

Originating from the coastal waters of Taiwan and Southern China, the Tophat Blenny is one of a very few species of Blenny that inhabits both fresh and brackish waters in the wild. A medium sized, curious fish with a unique namesake crest and a striped facial pattern, this fish inhabits a wide variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but will do best in at least low to moderate strength brackish water (5 – 15ppt salinity). They are peaceful towards most similar-sized tankmates but tend to spar with each other over territory, so be sure to provide plenty of cover and hiding places. This species is sexually dimorphic, with males typically exhibiting a larger crest and females generally being smaller and more colorful.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Mono argenteus or Moony is an extremely widespread fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific region and Africa. This species is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), Monos will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. Although juvenile Monos can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Scat occurs in three distinct color forms (green, silver, and red) which were once thought to be different species but are now all considered to be variants of the extremely widespread S. argus. Found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, scats are amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), scats will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. The green scat is a t common color variant of S. argus, and is typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests. Although juvenile scats can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

An unusual Sleeper Goby that is found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, the Crazy Fish or Upside Down Sleeper Goby is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Their name reflects their habit of swimming upside down or at an angle, normal behavior for this species. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), they will do best in light to moderate strength brackish water. Typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests, these fish are active and fast-moving predators that feed on small fish and invertebrates in the wild but are peaceful toward any tankmates too large to be eaten.

The Sharptail goby is found in fresh, brackish, and marine waters throughout much of the Indo-Pacific but is rarely seen in the hobby. A medium sized, active fish with attractive markings and elaborate fins, this fish inhabits a wide variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat, but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but if kept in full fresh will do best in moderately hard water. They are peaceful towards most similar-sized tankmates and with each other, although adult males may spar over territory. Our Sharptail Gobies are kept in full freshwater with the addition of a small amount of aquarium salt.

The Knight or Fan Goby is an interestingly marked, medium sized goby typically found in fresh to brackish waters throughout much of the Indo-Pacific. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of estuarine and mangrove swamp habitat, but are more often found in fresh or slightly brackish water than full marine conditions. In the aquarium, they adapt to a variety of conditions but if kept in full fresh will do best in moderately hard water. A moderately aggressive fish, dominant fish will bully other Knight Gobies unless kept in a larger group with plenty of hiding places. Knight gobies are remarkably hardy and make a unique addition to most freshwater or brackish water aquariums with similarly sized or larger tankmates.

A rarely seen relative of the popular Amazon Puffer (Colomesus asellus), the Parrot Puffer is found in coastal waters of Northeastern South America where it inhabits light to moderate brackish environments (sometimes venturing into full marine habitat). A voracious eater, they should be kept with fast-moving (if any tankmates), although they do not appear to be aggressive towards each other in the aquarium. The addition of some salt to create at least slightly brackish conditions is recommended.
