Proud New Puffer Owner in the UK

Post by BJL73 »

Hello, my name is Bree. I recently became the proud first time owner to a green spotted puffer my family has named P Diddy. I just call him Puffy. :lol:
I am an expat American living in the United Kingdom. Any advise or well wishes appreciated. :D

Hi and welcome to the forum, where abouts in the uk are you? Gsps are very popular, provide at least 30g and raise the salinity slowly so he is in high end brackish/ marine water. This can be done by raising the sg by 0.002 per week until your desired sg is reached.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
