Most brackish fish you find at an LFS will be kept in freshwater. I wouldn't recommend keeping common BBG's in fresh long term because the ones I've done that with have developed body fungus. This has never happened in my brackish tank.
There are other small brackish fish. Guppies and mollies do fine in brackish. Oryzias and certain inverts too.
Bumblebee gobies are probably best kept alone though, because they're very territorial and will nip tankmates.

My BBGs are thriving at 1.010 SG. I got them small from full fresh water tanks except one big one (coincidence?), now they are all the same size. They seem to get along with my violet goby, he won't let anything other than the BBGs into his favorite cave. There's also a dwarf gourami and a 2'' ghost/feeder shrimp and everyone seems quite content. The bumbles occasionally squabble amongst themselves but otherwise it's peaceful. I was going to add red dalmation mollies for more color/activity but it's only a 45g and I'm waiting until I upgrade.
Would look great though, IMO.

We have those by the hand full out here, we use them for bait. I always wanted one for my tank but they tend to eat anything that fits in their mouth and even sometimes that dosen't stop'em
