Brackish water, needs some type of land mass preferrably made with sand. Will eat other fishies like guppies.

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 10g. That should allow you enough space to build a proper habitat.

As long as you have a "beach" like area in there somehow, it should work fine.

I know this is an old post but I always went 80 land 20 water. I used sand as substrate with a waterfall filter. I used shrimp pellets from my local Jacks here in Ohio
