F8 puffer fish's future tank
Posted: Sat Sep 16, 2017 11:07 pm
Hello everyone! I am new to this forum. I have many fish but my favorite fish I have to say are puffers and bettas. I have one Pea puffer named Bien (my avatar) in her own 5 gallon tank, chili rasporas and Galaxy rasporas in their 10 gallon tank, a betta in his own 5 gallon and soon to have a new friend, a figure 8 Puffer fish! I have his/her own 20 gallon long tank started and almost cycled and ready.
I read up many things about the fry, like how they can be in fresh water for a little while and slowly change into brackish waters. I want to get a fry or a younger one but not sure how to go about this. My question is, After the tank is cycled, should I start slowly adding salt to the tank before adding the puffer in? Or should I place a puffer in the tank after it's fully cycled and then slowly add in the marine salt? Or does it depend on where I get them from and if they are in brackish water or fresh at the store?
thanks for the help and I am glad I found this site!
my puffers future tank: (ps: the rocks on the wood are only there temp. keeping them down until they sink)
