Brackish aquarium fish experiment
I live on a barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal waterway on the other. The Intracoastal waterway is connected to the Atlantic Ocean giving it a brackish water. It is not quite salt water but not fresh. I am keeping fish I have caught along with water from the river as an experiment. I will be keeping a diary of my progress.
