Want to hear a little brackish secret

[The guppy guru]

Guppies in a reef tank? Yes pleas, many people struggle to find a good schooling fish that is peaceful and don’t kill each other. Guppies are a brackish water fish that means that you can have them in freshwater and saltwater. This is awesome because they make a tight school and come in so many colors and patterns, one might even say they’re the zoanthids of the fish world, very colorful an unique.

Unfortunately the fish that resembles a neon tetra in the brackish water world is, a neon flamingo red guppy.

Lol how long will guppies actually survive in a reef though?

I feel like they'd be top of the food chain for a lot of predators most regular marine fish avoid?

I have a brackish question. Pea puffers and archer fish... Could they survive/thrive in a reef? How about FOWLR?

 

[Superlightman]

How long you can keep them,are you sure this works on the long run,if yes why we never see guppy in the see??

 

[The guppy guru]

Pea puffers are a fully freshwater species

Derp. Got them mixed up, Green Spotted. More so the archer fish as I love them but can't/wouldn't setup a pure brackish tank just to have them.

You don't see guppies in the sea because they would be targeted by everything.

Atcher fish can survive in full saltwater but they don't tend to enjoy it they only go thru it for spawning purposes.

Green spotted puffers van indeed live allTheir adult life in full saltwater, but as babies they require freshwater and gradually transition into full marine.

It wasn't full salt but had a healthy population of guppies in a brackish tank with 2 green spotted puffers. The fry would hitch a ride on the guppy grass I would put in from my minipond so the puffers would hunt the snails out of it. The puffers left them alone and the guppies would clean up after the puffers since they are such messy eaters.
