Looking for brackish tank info.

brackishwannbe · Dec 17, 2002

I have a 75G tank that will be setup as brackish and would like to know if there are any good books on the subject. I have not been able find any.
I new to this hobby, but I spent several months doing research on freshwater tanks before I setup the tanks that I have now. I've become addicted to the brackish system and am eager to setup my tank, but I want to be well knowledgeable in the subject, so I don't kill off fish needlessly or waste money. Any help would be appreciated.

Also dont forget to ask a lot of questions on this board. The people here have excellent knowledge. I know they have helped me out a bunch.

The sites are great! I now have two binders full of printed brackish info. I'll be getting my tank setup the beginning of Feb, I can't wait!!

Don't forget to fishless cycle your tank 1st! That way you can add a lot more fish when you're ready.

realizing you asked for brackish *books*...

There are currently no books in print that focus exclusively on brackish aquaria.

Best you'll find is a chapter or so in some of the general aquaria books.

However, the sites mentioned above have more than enough info to get you started.

Once you start deciding on fish to stock your new tank or any tank...checkout www.fishbase.org for info on species in their wild habitats
