Has anyone had sucess or herd of sucess with keeping any killifish in brackish conditions? I'm specifically interested in Blue Lyretail/Gardener's Killi, but info on any killi that will adapt to brackish would be helpful

there are definitely killies that do well in brackish, but I don't think gardner's fit the bill when it comes to getting them to thrive/breed.
 
the least killifish(H. formosa, although i believe it isn't actualy a true killi) and florida flag fish(i think are killies) are supposed to do well in BW.
 
I think that there are some Fundulus sps. native to the southeast U.S. that live in brackish and in salt water estuaries. One is called Sheepshead Minnow, not sure the species but I think they are killies.
