Well if you ask me i would say scats & monos, but they schooling fish,   and get quite large, you would need a good sized tank say 350 liter

but the most common brackish water fish are mollies and guppies, they can be kept in marine tanks too!

there are also the more unusual tank mates like fiddler crabs, mud skippers, and the most unusual of all the four eyes (if you forgive the name!) these must have a piece of land though. Oh! and there are puffer fish to.(which are realy cool!).
