I have a ropefish and two albino bichirs and also two violet dragon gobys.. i intend to do a brackish tank for the gobys eventually ..when they are large enough to go with catfish..in their brackish tank.. i have the two gobys by themself in a 75gal tank..would it be okay to add the bichirs and ropefish to that tank while the gobys grow out more..thanks for your advice in advance..
 
Should be but remember theres no guarantee so be sure to watch for agression and be prepared to seperate them if needed.-Anne

Thank you for quick reply..okay i will leave their previous tank up and running until i see that everything is okay..
 
sure ropes like salt in there water i don't know if they can be kept in brackish tanks i don't think so but they do like some salt but should be fine keep those senegals we'll feed they may try to taste your goby but if there the same size then sure

They are all about the same size.. i will add lots of hiding places..do bichir like a little salt too?
 
They will tolerate some salt but nothing really approaching what is considered ''brackish''

Yep, primarily freshwater since their habitats are freshwater lakes
