The pygmy snapper, according to fishbase, can be kept in fresh and brackish water. But, since there isn't even a picture of these fish on the 'net, odds are this species will be a real challenge to find. A challenge that I'm hoping one of our sponsors will strive to tackle for us.
The only pic I found was this painting,
did you notice that this is a juvenile and that adults are undescribed, I am wondering if the adults are a known salt water fish that goes through a color or form change and no one has connected the two.

I'm not for sure what a pygmy snapper is, I've only had them available to me a few times. When I have ordered them in, I have recieved more than one specie of fish.
The last ones I got looked like tiny mangrove snappers. THey came in in fresh water. I kept one of them and it is now about 8-10" long in full salt water.

The fishbase listing is for Lutjanus maxweberii and it is from New Guinea, here is the pic, I for got to attatch it last time.
