Brackish water areas always are covered in a sandy, silty, or muddy material and I feel that sand is the best option for a brackish water aquarium. You could use marine aragonite, "Minerial Mud", or play sand (which can be found VERY cheap at hardware and home improvement stores).
Bumblebee Catfish There are 2 types of bumblebee catfish, the South American and the Asian. The South American can be identified by the spot at the base of the caudal fish. This spot is almost like a square in the South American and a triangle with the tip towards the head for the Asian.
If aquarium size permits, Cory Catfish school in groups of six or more. Cory Catfish schooling behavior is a pretty interesting thing to see as the fish move throughout the tank synced like a precision dance ensemble.
Pearl Danios have been a popular staple in the aquarium industry for over 100 years. Pearls can be added to almost any community aquarium and they are tolerant of a wide range of water conditions and live agreeably with most species of fish. Like other... MORE danio species, keep them in schools of at least four or more.

Loaches are fun and generally easy to keep fish in community aquariums. Generally, they are peaceful scavengers that spend their time rooting about for tidbits of food on the bottom of the tank. Many prefer to be kept in schools of their own kind, and some species will literally pine away with loneliness if kept alone.
A marine aquarium is an aquarium that keeps marine plants and animals in a contained environment. Marine aquaria are further subdivided by hobbyists into fish only (FO), fish only with live rock (FOWLR), and reef aquaria.
Mollies in the wild. Besides the fact that aquarium mollies aren't any one species, muddying the waters yet further is the remarkable adaptability that mollies show in terms of environment. There really isn't any one definitive 'molly habitat'.
Platies are hardy and colorful fish that make a wonderful addition to the passive community aquarium. Platies are easy to breed, and new color varieties are developed through selective breeding programs. Platies make a perfect addition to the aquarium for the novice to expert alike.
