Just a little question

Post by Djboss »

Hi,
I've 3 GSP in a 240 Liters Brackish Tank.
But they always slide along the window ( up and down ).
They are many rocks in tank but they never go inside.
Is this a normal comportment ?
Must i had some artificial mangrove swamps ?
Thank's a lot.
Sorry for my english ;)

Hi Dj.

Puffers will swim along the glass at times. Adding plants could help. Are your puffers new to you? If so Give them time to get used to their new home. How are their water parameters?

I can't find brackish plants in France , it's very rare ( cryptocorine ciliata is very expensive ).
They are in the tank since 1/2 months and they still slide on the glass.
Density : 1012
Ph : 8
Kh : 4
No2 : 0
No3 : 15

I've only many rocks on the sand.
Must i add some mangrove swamps in "resine/plastic" ? And many others places where they could hide themselves ?
Thank you for your help

You have to at least have some fake decorations in France, don't you? Check out my tanks in the link below. Everything is fake.

Thank for your help.
