HELP Needed. Need a fast reply

[Hoyo12]

Does anyone know if Marbled Headstander will be able to live in Brackish Water. (Trying to move things around, have a big issue, putting him in a brackish tank would help) I know that they are found in the Amazon which does have brackish waters. Anyone have any clue???

The term brackish is a very very wide array of salt measurements.

If we are talking about brackish that is strong enough to be able to measure specific gravity on a normal SG meter. 1.000 and above SG then i do not think that would be a good idea.

But if we are talking about a tank that has 1-3 table spoons of regular salt per 5 gallons of water. Then they will be fine, as long as you take a couple of hours and slowly drip acclimate them to the water. I say this not only because of the salt but also because of the different tanks conditions.

And then anywhere in between would be a gamble IMO.

Alright, then he should do just fine in the tank. Thanks for the help!
