I'm new to the site but needed advice so here it goes...
I've got a Dragon Goby (or Violet Goby, or Dragonfish, or whatever you decide to call them) and a lil flounder dude right now, they're in a 50 gal tank with black sand subtrate, a big pump, a lil filter (going to upgrade next paycheck), a hamster tube, and a couple fake plants. I feed them frozen bloodworms every morning and freezedried every night. They seem happy but my Dragon Goby just got over being sick and was listing to the side constantly. I want to convert them to brackish water because the stores sold them to me as converted freshwater and I want them to be happy. Tips are welcome.

Welcome! You may want to post a pic of your flounder so we can ID it, as some flounders can grow quite large. Convert it to brackish water slowly, over the course of a few days. Is your Dragon goby still sick?

nope he's doing awesome. He's gained weight and is even turning this lovely violet irredescent color I've heard so much about. I've been adding about half a tsp. of salt every other day and they seem to be thriving. I'm expecting two diamond gobies shortly too. I'm super excited. I also recently found a 75 gal plexiglass tank for $50 thats in good condition that I'm picking up in a few days.
