datnoids are NOT brackish

Silver Datnoids are considered brackish. Many people with ATs have no problems and many report having more luck with them in fully brackish setups. Lots of people also have success with them in full fress setups though also. NGTs can also handle brackish.

My old IT (my avatar) was actually purchased out of a brackish tank even though its considered a fully freshwater species.

i read that they can be fully marine but whod prefer a mollie over a clownfish

I've been told that the benefits of mollies as fully marine is a healthy feeder for lionfish.

oh cool i dont keep sw because if you dont have perfect circulation youll develope weird worms and stuff but that makes sense. clownfish do change their sex to make a pair but there still egg layers anyways off topic

i think all livebearers are brackish compatible
