I recently read the bk's can be kept in brackish water. Is this true? I've always kept mine in fresh water.

These guys are often found in coastal FW streams. We routinely get them from waters that are still tidally influenced alongside some species that are more salt oriented. I have never measured the water parameters to see what specidfic conditions they would tolerate, but I would guess they can take it pretty salty.
Just out of curiosity, why would you want to make them bracksih if you didn't have to? I have found these fish do best in smaller species only fully FW tanks with LOTS of vegetation. Most plants don't seem to thrive in brackish conditions.

I slowly changing one of my tanks over to brackish, and was reading a lot about what kind of fish can go in there. I read that bf's can handle brackish, and wanted to find out for sure. I also have a small tank that I'm trying to breed amano shrimp in. I vary the salinity for them, so I was wondering if I could raise bf fry in there.
Right now I only have 3 female bf's
I need to get some males for them. They were born and raised in the tank they're in (a 20 long, fresh with lots of plants.)
