Puffers and plants supplements

Post by Ginger90 »

Hello everyone!

I am a proud owner of a naughty Ceylon puffer who just loves savaging all plants :shock:

I wonder whether I can add some plant supplements to help my plants to recover - I know puffers are delicate creatures and I would love to hear your opinion on any side effects I may expect.


Many thanks for your help ;-)

With the amount of salt these fish require, I wouldn't worry too much about keeping live plants.

There are no live plants that could thrive in a tank like that?
