Hello -- thinking of setting up a brackish pond

Brakish pond

Don't give up. I had a brackish pond in my backyard with needle nose gars, archers, mudskippers, scats, monos, soles, waspfish, mollies, guppies, halfbeaks, anableps, red, black, and asian mangrove trees. Everything went well for about a year until my heater failed one cold night, a racoon started picking off my fish, and I adopted a dog that destroyed what was left. I am now starting in brackish pool so I can swim with my fish. I will make a shallow area to grow more mangroves as well as some other plants I want to experiment with. I have a fence this time, a more powerful and durable heater, the dog has been trained to stay away.

So don't give up! Just do it! I take my 3 yr old daughter in the pool where it only has 6 inches of water for now and we get on our bellies and move around the pool checking out the puffer and other fish. She loves it. We don't do this often to keep ourselves and the water clean. Right now just have mollies, guppies, spotted puffer, a bumble bee goby, jade goby,and green chromide.
