You're phone is an idiot. How did it get "blowguns steel" from "Lucania goodei"?
So are you pretty sure that that one is not a brackish fish at all?

I tried to type "Bluefin Killie". Not much better really! They're not normally considered brackish, but most of the ones I've actually had came in as contaminants in bags of Ghost Shrimp, so they can certainly at least tolerate low level brackish conditions.You're phone is an idiot.

Bluefins are not normally considered brackish but they are very tolerant of a wide range of conditions. A better choice for a true small sized brackish Killie would be Lucania parva, the Rainwater Killie. I going collecting in a few weeks and I believe a good part of our day will be spent in brackish environs. I wouldn't want to count my fish before I get them home, but L. parva is native to the area and is one of our target species. If you're interested, and I can actually find some they're yours. Btw the Kryptolebias are doing fine, I was away for a week so they weren't getting fed as intensely, but they're rapidly appproaching a workable size.
Oh thanks for reminding me about those K. marmoratus! That would be awesome to get a group of those. How big are they now?I tried to type "Bluefin Killie". Not much better really!

Definitely not. Lucania are the shy type, and even if they didn't get killed outright, they'd hide all the time. The Kryptos are well over 1/2", once I get them to a bit over an inch I'll let them go. I would think the salt content would be a problem with blowguns steel, unless you paid for the stainless upgrade, and even then, not all stainless is really stainless!Oh thanks for reminding me about those K. marmoratus!

I asked the seller abou the "blowguns steel" and he also thought they would be a poor choice for this setup. However I don't know if this would necessarily be because of the lightly brackish water, or because of the temperaments of the other fish. The Jordanella and the Cyprinodon are pretty rowdy. What do you think about combining the L. parva with them?
I can think of a few. What kind of tank setup do you have?What a beautiful tank! Would you know of any smaller brackish water plants?
