what kind of fish can i put in my brackish tank i have guaramis, angels,and columbian sharks
 
what size tank do you have?
are those fish in a brackish tank or do you have a FW tank for those guys and just listing them because you want people to suggest different fish then those you already have?
 
Yeah, because none of those fish you listed are brackish water fish. True brackish water will have sea salts in it, not fresh water aquarium salt. So what exactly are we talking about here?
 
im gonna be upgrading to an 80g
i have all those fish in one tank but i do put aquarium salt in
 
stop putting salt in. unless they are all covered in ick all the time, it doesn't do anything to help them. they need FW only. do some water changes and lower the salt levels.

and like ^^ she said, brackish means you have to get actual marine salt, not just aquarium salt.

before we can suggest what kind of fish you should get if you want to go brackish, we need to know what size tank you are going to use.
 
puffer fish and skates
 
puffer fish and scats Mono Argentus Archer Fish
 
Angels and gouramis are not brackish. Columbian sharks are but require a large tank (As do Monos and Scats). Puffers do not make good tank mates and would shred your gouramis and angels, they are best kept on their own. All is not lost there are brackish choices for all size tanks. Post your tank size and people can make some recommendations. At the moment it sounds like you need two tanks one for the freshwater fish you already have and one for any brackish fish you intend to get.
