Will this community work in brackish water?

I currently have the following in a freshwater tank, but would like to convert it to a brackish tank for my invertebrates:

1 Crowntail Betta
6 Zebra Danios
1 Silvertip Shark
1 Balloon Molly
1 Balloon Platy
2 Chinese Algae Eaters
12 Ghost Shrimp
1 Unidentified Crab (Possibly a Red Claw Crab)

I believe everything but the danios will be fine. Are there any other concerns? I am also considering adding:

Ropefish
Golden Wonder Killifish

Will these two types mix well in this existing community? Will they also like brackish water? Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention….
Another potential candidate is an Archer Fish

Dragon goby questions?

I have been researching dragon gobies lately and have found more questions then answers. Most of the information is conflicting. I assume they do best in brackish water and some websites say they only survive in it, others say that they can thrive in a freshwater environment, some others say it can adapt to a marine system,the real anwser? I have also read that they can be fierce predators and eat small fish and shrimp, other sources say they they filter feed, and still others say they are main bottom feeders, which is true? Some say that it can live in a warm or cold water aquaiurm. Food as well i have read about what to feed them and ive seen every kind of fish food under the sun from algae waffers to ghostshrimp to flakes, what would be the best foods to feed them?

I am interested in keeping this fish and would like to know what type of environment that will keep it happy and healthy. If you have any info please share.
