Brackish aquarium
Intermediate environment between freshwater and marine with variable salinity. It is home to fascinating species such as archerfish, pufferfish and mudskippers.
Detailed explanation
The brackish aquarium replicates estuary and mangrove environments. The salinity varies from 1.005 to 1.020 SG.
The most fascinating species: archer fish (Toxotes), Scatophagus argus, Monodactylus, puffer fish, mudskipper.
The chemistry is achieved by adding synthetic sea salt. Many brackish species tolerate fluctuations in salinity (their evolutionary specialty).
Vegetation is limited: Vallisneria, some Cryptocoryne, low salinity Java Fern. The mangroves are the most fascinating option for the emerged part.
