The Professional's Guide: How to Safely Convert Brackish Fish to Freshwater
What if you could offer your customers fish with the exotic appeal and unique personalities of marine species, but without the high cost and complexity of a full saltwater system? For the savvy local fish store (LFS), this isn't just a thought experiment—it's a golden opportunity.
Many of the aquarium trade’s most charismatic fish—Puffers, Scats, Monos, and Archerfish—originate in brackish water estuaries. They offer the "wow" factor that freshwater hobbyists crave. The key to unlocking this lucrative market is proper acclimation. Offering correctly converted, fully freshwater brackish species is a premium service that builds customer trust, commands a higher price, and drastically reduces losses.
This guide provides a safe, repeatable, step-by-step protocol for converting euryhaline (species with a wide salinity tolerance) fish from brackish to full freshwater, setting up you and your customers for long-term success.
