The Puffer Forum

It's full of shell-strengthening carbonates!

what happpens if you put a crayfish in salt water can they adapt ?

I was sure they'd die, but honestly I plunked one(NO acclimation) and he survived a couple days(well past acclimation) until I had to pull him out of the rocks so the puffers could eat. So I did a test, and changed the holding tank to SW(which also killed it's cycle of course) despite the ammonia and the "plunk", not a single cray died. I think they're pretty adaptable, but my puffers get hungry, so after a 2 week or so quarantine...

so they survived with out the bacteria and every thing ?

For nearly ten days.

as of now or then they died?

Then Shakespeare ate them violently

lol hes a green spotted ?

Yes, a nice fat one, over 3", 4" with his tail(which is very short compared to the rest of him actually)

i was jsut wondering becouse he comes off blue in a few of those pictures

Yea, he's kinda reflective, and he's under actinic light

l he is marine right ( so it works out )

Yea, I put it there for a few mushrooms which are now dead, but I love how clear and bright the water looks under it, so it stays

shakespear eat the mushrooms?

Crustaceans do amazingly well in all water differences. not sure why, something to do with respiratory I assume.
