Pufferfish

Common name	Taxonomy	Picture	Size	Remarks	Salinity
Common Toadfish, Toado	Tetractenos hamiltoni		4"	Rarely seen in the aquarium trade, even in Australia, where it is native. Adaptable to a wide range of conditions and habitats, from marginal, polluted freshwater-brackish creeks to fully marine seagrass flats, as long as the habitat is sheltered from strong currents.^{[citation needed]}
Figure 8 pufferfish	Tetraodon biocellatus		4"	Requires brackish aquarium conditions with very low Nitrite and Nitrate levels to be kept successfully. Freshwater compromises immune system, harms puffer, and shortens life extremely. Commonly kept in freshwater.
Green spotted puffer	Tetraodon nigroviridis		6"	Often sold as freshwater fish, but this species actually thrives in brackish water. As the fish matures, it requires the salinity levels to slowly increase with age. Must be kept in aquarium with very low Nitrite and Nitrate levels to be kept successfully. A highly varied diet is a necessary requirement for this species. Prawns, muscle meat, mysid, squid and aquatic snails are all relished. Provide Shelled food to naturally trim the puffers constantly growing teeth.^[3]	1.008-1.018

Gobies

Common name	Taxonomy	Picture	Size	Remarks	Salinity
Bumblebee goby	Brachygobius xanthozonus		1.5"	Often a picky eater. Will accept thawed frozen brine shrimp or mysis shrimp. Can be outcompeted for food by more aggressive fish.
Water Cow	Eleotris picta		17"
Violet goby, Dragon goby	Gobioides broussonnetii		21"	Though pet stores often label as "vicious" this fish is actually quite harmless
Barred mudskipper	Periophthalmus argentilineatus		6"	This fish requires "land" to crawl out of the water.
Atlantic mudskipper	Periophthalmus barbarus		9"	This fish requires "land" to crawl out of the water.

New Guinea tigerfish	Datnioides campbelli		13"	These fish must be kept in large aquaria.^[4]
Silver moony	Monodactylus argenteus		10"	These fish are also known from marine habitats.

Banded archerfish	Toxotes jaculatrix		12"	These fish have the ability to shoot water to hit their insect prey.
Green Scat, Ruby Scat	Scatophagus argus		15"	A ravenous herbivore that quickly defoliates any aquatic plants in the aquarium. One of the few common brackish water plants in the trade, the Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus) appears to be toxic to these fish and should not be planted with "scats".
