Going from brackish to freshwater?

i agree that gobies are quite interesting, but dragon gobies, aside from their appearance, just don't do much but lay around from what I have seen. i have also observed knight gobies in the lfs and they weren't overly exciting, though i know the lfs isn't the greatest place to observe healthy fish behavior. the appearance of both dragon gobies and knight gobies just makes them seem out-of-place. and i do have a dwarf puffer so i thought i would do something different here.

there are of course some bigger brackish fish that are awesome.. i'd love some anableps or a catfish.. there's also a type of eel that is brackish that i used to always pull out of the chesapeake with my fishing rod when i was a young'en but i don't know what they are called. but a 30 just won't cut it for any of that stuff.
 
What kinds of fish DO excite you? Maybe then people can offer more suggestions?

BTW...I have 2 green spotted puffer with my BBGs and a few ghost shrimp and guppies (that were supposed to be dinner, but for the most part are ignored) and I really enjoy my tank. I'd get some green scats and archer fish if my tank was bigger. Maybe later......lol.
 
I wasn't really asking for suggestions on stocking (although I will take them).. I was mainly just looking for tips on going from brackish to freshwater in a tank..

I currently have a dwarf puffer and two cherry shrimp in a 5G, 4 indian mudskippers and a fiddler crab in a 30, and the tank i want to convert which has 3 bumblebee gobies in a 30.. I love all of the fish that I currently have :)
 
And you aren't interested in mollies or platies. Hmmm......

What I do is just cruise the sites that sell fish and look at their pictures to see what I might like and the conditions that it needs. You could try that...lol.

Not sure about the converting other than just to keep doing water changes. I know that when you go from FW to BW you will get a mini cycle as the bacteria re-establishes. Not sure about the other way around, though it seems likely.
