im going to keep the sg at 1.010.im not going full marine.ive read this will be fine long term.ok i wont stop till i get to 1.010.today hes looking much better than before.so as i add more salt if he improves in colour ill know whats wrong.ill update next week.

[BETTYBOO]

well i must have tested wrong as just tested the ph again and its 8.so thats not causing it either.all i can think it is, is the sg which im upping so ill keep an eye on him.il post back next friday when i up the salt.

Seemed like there is some damage to the caudal fin, but I can't quite tell for sure, on one of the smaller ones it seemed more pronounced, unless it was already like this there is some nipping going on perhaps. In the video he looks quite happy to me anyway.

[BETTYBOO]

theres no nipping that ive seen.the fins looked like this when i got them.im treating it as we speak.

would you say i should up the salt every 7 days??

would you say i should up the salt every 7 days??

Maximum is an increase of 0.002 every week I believe.

[bertie 83]

Yes 0.002 per week

[BETTYBOO]

okey dokey

[BETTYBOO]

would a 350 litre = 76 uk gallon = 92 usa gallons tank be ok to house 3 adult puffers???

i was going to get a 260 litre = 57 uk gallon = 68 usa gallons next may but im thinking of getting a 350 litre???

what do you think

[bertie 83]

You should be ok with that size,

[BETTYBOO]

fantastic. its a corner tank and its measurements are 123 x 87 x 65 cm.

i shall get it next year instead of the 260.all should be good till then.thanks

If these dots are spaced about equally it could be the spikes of the GSP, I don't suppose you could post a picture?
