Big Als sometimes has brackish.
Don't talk to any of the kids in the back fish room though. The first question I would ask is ....... who here knows the most about fish..... and talk to that person. :biggrin:

Damsels can go brackish as well as chromis.
Mollies like brackish too.

I had a brackish tank for a while. Some of the fish are pretty interesting.
I found it hard to find fish and almost no inverts can go brackish. I had zebra snails and they did quite good.

I've seen domino damsels in a brackish tank as well as spotted puffers.
You can try the following types of marine fish:
Puffers (Arothron hispidus)
Batfishes (Platax spp.)
Snappers (Lutjanus spp.)
Damselfishes (family Pomacentridae)
Catfishes (Plotosus spp.)
Seahorses (family Syngnathidae)

I found it very informative when I set up my brackish system.
Personally, I only have experience converting brackish fish into marine. I always wanted a humbug so I might try this myself...
Seen a really neat tank with mud skippers plus other fish. Tank was long with a beach rising one on side.
Some brackish sections on WWM http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mudskippers.htm
