I stopped by the LFS that I don't often go to, because they were having a sale on (non aquatic) plants. I looked at the fish, and saw the best Dragon goby I've ever seen! (A bit about me and dragonfish: when I was about 10, I saw a dragonfish at the lfs. It was crazy and active and it caught my eye. I loved the eel shape, and its raised spikes of its dorsal. I spent all the money I had on a 55 gallon tank And thats how I got started into fish keeping) It was a little over a foot long, around 3/4 of an inch around, had a great dosal, the best color i ever seen, and when it swam and attached itself to the glass, It reached top lenght reached top to bottom, head to tail of the 20 standard it was in. It is in freshwater, and the store said They had it for a month, it was well acclimated, and they even feed it In front of my, and it was an active eater! Its only $15 and look better than the one in the display!
Should I get it?

(If you have room for it that is)
but heres the concer5n: they are a brackish fish, but this one has been eating well, and is fat, happy and active in freshwater. I only have fresh water.
A little salt will help a lot, almost all fish tolerate a rate of 1 tablspoon /5 gallons and that will help prevent fungus and bacterial infections.
