Chichlids in BW?
- Thread starter lferg

There are only 2 species of cichlids that naturally live in brackish water, orange and green chromides. Incidentally, green is the natural color morph, oranges were produced from them. Most cichlids will tolerate some salt, but that doesn't mean they prefer it.
I think there's a few more http://fishbase.fishinfo.cn/Summary/FamilySummary.cfm?ID=349 but they are certainly in the minority.

There's really not very many. Black belts, mayans, and chromides are all I think of off the top of my head that naturally live in brakish water. Cons and JDs can live in brakish water, though they normally don't naturally.

I've kept red devils and oscars in BW. I did it because there tank broke and that was the only tank I had at the time.

What did you use, marine salt, "aquarium" salt or mineral salts?
I'd like to know the answer as well.
