Wanting to set up a 36 gallon Brackish.

aspects

Not all dwarf species of puffers are fresh. I know for a fact that both figure 8s and GSP are found in brackish water and they are usually readily available at your LFS.
I'm sure there are other brackish dwarf variety out there, but those are just the ones I know of off hand.

not to mention you can aclimate many of these fish to mostly fresh or mostly salt like mono's for example

Dwarf Puffer is an actual specie, which is freshwater. Of course GSP's and figure 8's are Brackish.

aspects

If you're referring to INDIAN dwarf puffers, (commonly called Dwarf Puffer along with 10 other common names) that is a fresh water puffer, however the term dwarf is a reference to size. There are many dwarf species of puffer, as well as other fish.

I do think that when most people say Dwarf Puffer, they are referring to the indian Dwarf Puffer. That is why it can get confusing when you say brackish Dwarf Puffer.

I think your selection of fish sounds good. I would not put the figure 8 or the catfish in with the little gobies. They would probably have them for a snack.

I just put some knight gobies in my brackish tank. So far I really like them. They can eat small fish, but they may do ok with the figure 8, if you went that route.

The freshwater flounder are cool fish as well, may want to check them out.

Thanks everybody! What do you think about
4 bumblebee gobies
3 male black mollies
5 ghost shrimp

aspects

i might go with 1m 2f mollies, but besides that youre looking good. they will have tons of room in that tank

Twistersmom

I think the gobies will eat small shrimp. The grown up shrimp may be ok, but I think they would eat the babies.

veganchick

Ok, Awesome!

veganchick

Thats ok, cuz I don't want a huge shrimp population either!
