brackish question.

[matrix06]

Hello everyone. I have been in the hobby for some time now(mostly freshwater) and I was wanting to try something a bit different. My question is can angelfish and jack dempsey handle brackish water? I was wanting to get a G Tile and I was just curious if I would need to get rid of the jack's and angle fish? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have read some articles but most have not been real informative and the pet store where I live near all say "just go salt water get an eel".
Of course they want me to spend more money on setting up a 100g salt water.

no, they will not be able to handle brackish water. I would rehome them or get a separate tank for your brackish setup.

Do you have angle or angel fish with he jack?

Brackish water requires a little bit of planning ahead before setting up the aquarium. I would read the sticky in this section and learn about what brackish water is, and what those fish need before setting up a brackish aquarium.

Many brackish fish such as the G. tile tends to need full marine water when full grown.

Ok thanks for the info. I didn't think they would be able to handle it just wanted a more experienced opinion on the matter. Like I said earlier the pet stores around here and not that helpful.

You saw an article that was less than clear about an Angel and Jack Dempsey being freshwater of brackish? That's shocking!
