Two GSP's in 29 gallon

Post by Courtney »

Hello,
I am new here, um, i am going to be getting two small GSP's from my LFS soon i ordered them last week, i have the tank set up, i still need to get a filter, and heater, and air for the tank, i wont get the GSP's before i get the other things, i was wondering how much salt i need to put in, because they are now in freshwater, and how much crushed coral i will need to put in, and is there any live plants i can have in there or should i stick with silk plants?
Thanks

Only one GSP per 30gal. Get a hydrometer to measure salt levels. I got my tank ready and cycled it brackish 1.004, then slowly acclimated the puffer. Pufferpunk has a great article about them at WetWebMedia. She will probably post the link for you.

The 2 could live in the 29 for a little while but eventually you'll need a 55g or larger is preferred.
