I know mummichogs need brackish; not sure about any others. All the species in the studfish, starhead, banded, blackspotted/blackstriped, plains, and golden groups breed in fresh. I think Seminoles also breed in fresh.

Yeah there's so many fundulus species around in the United States and im not sure which ones are brackish water and which ones can tolerate in the freshwater (like mummichogs) but wont breed in freshwater. I think there are some can tolerate some degree of salt in the water like banded killifish (or was that banded topminnow?) but dont know.
