Yes it will changed to a brackish tank slowly and did some research if it is done slowly most fish can survive in brackish if it is changed slowly
Yeah I could probably survive in brackish water for a while too. That doesn't mean I'm going to try it. Please do more research, just because something will survive for awhile does not mean they will thrive or live as long as they would under optimal conditions. Most of those fish will need full marine by maturity. Good luck and please do some more research.
Once fully transferred to a full brackish tank will I need a protien skimmer and stuff too? What else would i need
So keep everything else normal just add sea salt mix new to brackish sorry for all the questions but appreciate it
Please only keep fresh with fresh, brackish with brackish, and marine with marine. Salinity is not like pH, where the fish will become accustomed to it as long as it's stable.
And from what I've heard, most people don't use protein skimmers with brackish.

I'm sure freshwater fish can survive in really light brackish tanks when acclimated slowly but monos and puffers need high end brackish and eventually need to go full marine in order to live long and healthy lives. It may seem cool at first to have all the fish you want in one tank but in the long run, it's not healthy for them nor is it responsible. My advice is to just set up a different brackish tank solely for brackish species instead of trying to mix and match.
