There was a book published back in the 60's to 70's on brackish fish by TFH, but is way out of date now. Sadly, there is no book on bw. I agree with you on the bw fish. I have some Anablep Anablep, Mudskippers, Monos, Scats, Gobies, and Fig 8 Puffers. They truely are amazing and deserve more credit than people give. If you have any specific questions you can ask here, we always have someone to help, and I stop by at least once a day. I have been doing brackish for 7 years.
There are a lot of long time BW folk on this site that can help you. Here is a great BW article: http://badmanstropicalfish.com/brackish/brackish.html
Yeah, my boyfriend has a copy of it. I love the tank discriptions in the back as to stocking levels 
! What was it for a 125 there was like 20 Monos, 10 Scats, 15 Mollies, 8 Rainbows, 6 Fig 8 puffs, and 10 BB Gobies (or something like that, it was amazing!). I keep hoping Barron's or TFH will get a brackish book going. There are also some good links in the brackish section of the Aquaria Central website i.e. compatibility, the species, etc. Hope this helps.

One of the editors, Brian Scott, is on www.predatoryfish.net/ibforums so harrassing him might get some results...

Cheers for the quick replies,pretty isolated here as a fish keeper,loads of individuals but no clubs as such.At the moment I have 3 tanks,1 of which is brackish,3 knight gobies,5 bumblebees and 3 redclawed crabs.Just aquired a 4ft tank and i'm undecided as to a cave biotopic or a mangrove swamp,decisions decisions.
