when to transition to marine
okay, I have one gsp (smegal) in a 40gal tank. I bought him freshwater and have been raising his sg each week. It's at 1.002 right now. someone told me that by the time he is fully grown he could be full marine. when is he fully grown and when do you transition to marine? So far he is doing beautifully. He is the only fish I think I could discribe as looking happy.

Re: when to transition to marine
Straight out of the GSP article in the libraryI suggest keeping GSPs in low-end brackish water when juvenile <2", (in a specific gravity, or SG of 1.005-10, at 2-4", medium BW (SG 1.010-15) and adult >4″ SW (SG 1.018-22).
