What type of fish can be in brackish water?

Yeah sure... a 10', 300lb fish? How does a fish that live in the Mississippi become a BW fish?

It swims. Alligator gar are commonly found in brackish water.

How about a Colombian Shark

They have found gars in pure sw. They live in the mouth of the Mississippi and are believed to migrate into full salt to hunt

Just because a fish swims occasionally into BW doesn't make it a BW fish. Forcing a FW fish to permanently live in BW it's entire life isn't fair to the fish & greatly shortens it's lifespan.

I thought you wrote how does it get to BW not how it becomes BW, my bad.

I'm fairly sure alligator gars can and do live there entire lives in BW. I have even heard of public aquariums keeping alligator gars in their full salt setup.
