oh ya i forgot to mention the common snook. Found in the southern states, they are extremely smart and remind me of a baramundi(sp?). The snook can easily switch between seawater and fresh. I don't know about the legality about possessing one in kalifornia, but I'd check it out.
saltwater-looking but Freshwater Fish (oddball) ~ sfbay, will pay for ship

Bettas, angelfish, i know you said you dont want african cichlids but there's a wide array of them so look around. gouramis and discus have saltwater characteristics. Theres a discus called an AquaGreen Scribble Discus, hes very neat looking

common snook requires salt (although i have heard of ones that r full fresh) n grows a lil too big . but ive kept a swordspine snook before which was fully fresh and doesnt get too big. so ya once again, thanks for ur suggestion. perhaps i shouldve posted a list of the ones that i already have kept xD anyway, ur suggestion r definitely in the right direction : )

yes lotsa fish have fins and tails
haha ya i get what you mean though, some looks so vibrant that could be mistaken as sw fish. but just not the general type of fish im looking for. im looking for "game fish" type , that you would expect in an estuary , but its actually freshwater .
sorta hard to explain...... its like, im not looking for how ornate a fish is.... but... hard to explain xDpupumole;3843892; said:common snook requires salt (although i have heard of ones that r full fresh) n grows a lil too big . but ive kept a swordspine snook before which was fully fresh and doesnt get too big. so ya once again, thanks for ur suggestion. perhaps i shouldve posted a list of the ones that i already have kept xD anyway, ur suggestion r definitely in the right direction : )

lmao, my bad, yea when i think slatwater i think colorful lol, I do a lto of snorkeling so I pictured little bright fish lol.
game fish type I've heard a number of people say banded killifish look like saltwater game fish but theyre kinda plain. There are freshwater needle fish. Am I getting closer, if not don't tell me lol jk.
