Re: Just added first bit of salt
Its a ceylon puffer Hes about 3" including tail, and a good inch wide too.
I was intending on only doing 2 gallon changes for the time being about every 4 days, does this seem ok???? Then when the SG is steady then i will increase it a bit more.

Re: to trust or not to trust????
Im pretty sure that it is not a fig 8, as is already 3" long. Looks like a ceylon puffer according to the internet sites.
Is it really that common for a decent LFS to wrongly name fish????
