Question about VitaChem for F8s

Post by fugu99 »

I have two Figure 8 puffers and the lady at the petstore said to look into getting some VitaChem. I looked on F&S and it seems they have Marine and Freshwater types. My puffers are in Brackish Water, I was wondering which VitaChem should I get? Because of the salt, should I get Marine? Or because its low-end brackish, should I get Freshwater?

I'd go with the FW. Excellent choice of vitamin.
