Salt-tolerant bottom dwellers?

I'm planning to make a 20H a mildly brackish tank for mollies. Other inhabitants will be Endler's, swordtails and amano shrimp.

I know cory's are out of the question...what would you suggest for bottom fish? Or should I be happy with just the shrimp?

Bumblebee gobies come to mind as being suitable for a small, brackish tank. They may be tough to get food to past the more active critters though.

They are really cute, but I think something at least a LITTLE bigger would be good. It's the bottom tank on the rack...they would be hard to see and keep track of.

Not too many other species come to mind as being suitable for a small tank, particularly with the livebearers that will eventually overrun the capacity anyway.

I agree. When it comes to brackish you're looking at BB gobies for a tank this size.

Why not make it freshwater, as it'll give you more options. I'm sure the Mollies will be fine.

Endlers and Swordtails are not brackish fish.

how about a butterfly goby?
