what salinity do indian glass fish live at?

 

[vampie]

Indian Glassfish are actually freshwater, but they can probably tolerate up to 1.005 SG or so.

How about a pair of knight gobies?

picked up a pair today, any advice

You can drip acclimate your fish to brackish by putting them in a 1/4 bucket of water that matches the salinity of the water they were kept in at the store. Get a length of air hose and start a siphon from your brackish tank into the bucket, and tie a knot in the air hose until it is only a drip, at about one drop per second. Over the space of a few hours, the water will slowly change to closely match the salinity in your brackish tank. When the bucket's almost full, release your fish into his new tank.
