Hello everyone, I present you my friends, 2 tetraodon nigroviridis. The tank is 150 liters and the values are optimal for the species including a very slight salinity of 1005. The tank has been active for several years and inside there were about 200 snails physa readily eaten by tetraodon in the first hours after insertion. They are fed with chironomus, clams, dates and shrimp trying to vary the diet as much as possible. Salinity will be increased in the future. A short video for you.

Re: Tetraodon nigroviridis.
That tank really is only large enough to keep a single adult happy. Do you have plans on upgrading? Will you be raising the salinity soon?

Re: Tetraodon nigroviridis.
Hello, I read on a guide book ("starting the brackish acquarium" of Cody Shoup) It suggests among the many possible arrangements, a tank of 130 lt or greater with 2 tetraodon and 5 brachigobius. For the salinity discourse as the puffer grows I will bring it to about 1015. Values always suitable also for the Microsorum.

It's possible but I wouldn't trust the puffers with slow-moving species like gobies.

Re: Tetraodon nigroviridis.
In fact I would like to breed them alone, also because in the future I foresee not only to increase salinity, I would like to change the bottom by putting aragonitic sand bringing the values of ph over 8 and salinity to 1015. So I stay on the monospecies.
