Re: hi
I'm sorry to inform you that your 3 different puffer species have 3 totally different water requirements. The SAP is a FW fish. It aldo is a schooling species & requires serious dentistry. The F8 requires low-end BW & the GSP requires high-end BW & would prefer SW as an adult. In addition, the GSP will rival the other 2 in size & mass & especially aggressiveness, possibly killing the smaller 2.

Re: hi
Thank you for the info. The problem is I have to big a heart. The Amazon puffer was in a LFS and his teeth were way over grown! They were to afraid to trim them. So I got him to basicly to save his life. Trimmed his teeth and the next day was back eating like a champ. Kinda same with all the puffers. They were in a LFS in bad health so I rescued. I hate to see any of them go but you are right at this point I am gonna do more harm then good. So I do have a 47 gallon bow I may put the F8s in and the Amazon. I read somewhere that the Amazon should be ok at the same low BW as the F8s. So that's not true? If so I can put him in my kids 40 gallon tank that is FW.Pufferpunk wrote:
