			Brackish water aquaria Keeping brackish water aquaria is a popular specialization within the fishkeeping hobby. Many species of fish traded as freshwater species actually do better in brackish water, for example black mollies, Florida flagfish, and some cichlids such as orange chromides. There are also several popular species traded purely as brackish water fish, including Monodactylus spp, scats, archerfish, and various species of pufferfish, goby, flatfish, and gar. Generally aquarists need to maintain a specific gravity of around 1.005 to 1.010 depending on the species being kept, but practically all brackish water fish tolerate variations in salinity well, and some aquarists maintain that regularly fluctuating the salinity in the aquarium actually keeps the fish healthy and free of parasites.
