Brackish Riparium

[cookymonster760]

I have a good variety of mangroves here ready to go. I just need to get them into another tank and start raising the salinity, and then start looking for some of those interesting brackish fish.

desert gobies is the way to go

Hey thanks for that tip that does look like a cool fish.

I got a new series of shots and I am backing up a bit. I'll have more soon.

I love the look of that white aragonite sand.

Hey I got another quick picture here!

This is another really great mangrove species that I plan to use in the tank, white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa). I currently have it going in my 11-4G riparium setup but it is growing fast and getting too big for that tank. It has these great paddle-shaped rubbery leaves.
