Which ones exactly? There are two groups I know of. The ones with varied colors are from Sumatra (Lake Malili and Lake Poso to be exact). The other one with more pointed tips on their shells have various locations although they can also be seen in the Philippines. Both are freshwater although the latter can be found in estuarines.

I've never tried them in brackish setup. Their water parameters are high pH, low KH/GH though. They are unlikely to survive brackish I believe. Their water is fresh.
