Freshwater or brackish?

SirChaos · April 11th, 2008

Hello all,
I just acquired an approx 5-6 inch red devil housed in a 40 gallon hex freshwater tank. She has 2 cats and 1, 3 inch angel in with her. She was raised in this tank.
My question....I have a 55 gallon brackish tank with no livestock in it. Can she be acclimated to brackish water from fresh?
Thanks

, but I do not think that is possible.

Cichlids are freshwater fish. so I would say no. However you could look up some cool puffers for the brackish tank...
I would also watch putting her w/ the other fish, she is an extremely aggresive cichlid.
