I have read in the past (where?) that kribs tolerate, even thrive, in low salinity brackish (up to 1.004-1.005).
I have recently lost a 6 year old 6-7" archer who limited my ability to explore keeping some of the smaller brackish fish. I also have a few 5 " monos which I will keep, and three 5-8" scats who will have to go, as I would like to move to a planted tank. I have had luck with water sprite and java fern in my pre-scat days. The scats are going to the LFS for store credit. They are intrigued at the concept of acclimating to marine for resale.
I also plan to purchase knight gobies, bumblebee gobies, and, especially, celebes rainbows. Perhaps even some nonpainted glassfish. The character of my 110 gal tank is really going to change! these smaller fish may also put a dent in my astounding scud population.
I'm a full grown man but nearly wept when my archer died. He was the pride of my tank, along with my docile 22" fire eel, also over 5 years old. The archer was a hell of a shot, and would also leap out the water to take food from hand!
