Brackish Wet Pets

[Viper X]

Are there any brackish fish w/c qualify as wet pets?

Wet pets? You mean fish with personalities?

Haha.... then you're finding yourself lucky - both Muskippers (Periopthalmus sp.) and several pufferfish (mostly Tetraodon sp.) are packed with character. Just note that mudskippers need a very special environment that includes a 'beach' (land out of water), and puffers need very good water quality.

The setup "beach" is vivarium. Yes, they do require land to be able to rest on.

scats have decent personalities, I imagine some of the snappers do as well

Puffers are quite entertaining and interactive.

So far my best wet pets have been Oscars. I've had them rest in the palm of my hand and let me pet them like dogs. I just got a Tex thats 8" and I don't think I will have that luck with him. I think you have to raise them from young to have to be able to do that with them. Has anyone been able to pet a Tex this is my first one.

Oscars are pretty personable ime, but definately not brackish. I'd say a puffer

Had a green spotted puffer before, died because of teeth growth. Never got him to show his "personality"
