Well, i got the 15G up and running. now what to do with it. i was thinking of turning it in to a "exotic" tank. but im at a point where i dont know what to do. any thing would be helpful. the filter is a EHEIM AQUA BALL ment for a 26G tank min. it has a air stone and a heater too. i am thinking of going Brackish but im worryed that my filter wont handle it. thanks! this is for my 15G

Are you prepared with all the information to go brackish?
I say go ahead and try it... though usually a person should have freshwater mastered first.
I'm all about the learning experience so I say go for it. Just do a LOT of reading first.

I don't know what you mean by exotic. Do you mean you want to stock with the rarer species? You can't do real plants in a brackish tank, to my knowledge.

If you can go brackish, I think 15g is perfect for a few dwarf puffers.
Did you have something specific in mind??

Well...I don't know how well those species would work together as the dwarfs can be quite aggressive.
If I were you I'd pick one or the other.
Though someone may come along and say they keep them together just fine.
I just wouldn't recommend it. (for the mollies sake)

Then again if you have have a lot of cover like fake plants etc...and keep the dwarfs to only a couple...then maybe it would work.

Well GL.
