well ive noticed the larger puffer has no white spots on him anymore???
not sure what happened but its a good sign.
if water results are fine and fish are fine is a 25/30% a week water change ok?? must it be 50%?? not saying i wont do 50% as i have been anyway i just wondered say if 1 month i was running low on salt would a smaller water change be ok till i get more salt the next week? just on the odd occasion.
whats the highest nitrate gsp can tolerate.by the end of every week my nitrate is about 20.
are they more likely to get on when there adults as they would have been together from a young age?or doesnt that matter??
i cant believe how well they get on tho.its great.no chasing or fighting.they all sleep with each other at night too.

Nitrate needs to be below 20, if it's hitting 20 keep doing the water changes you are doing currently. As they grow they will produce more waste. Only time will tell if they will get on in the future

As your salinity reaches s/w you will be able to use ro or rodi water which will reduce nitrates to start with

I've got one out of the 3 that has a dark belley. He had torn fins and a nipped back due to shipping to the lps. He's getting whiter on the belley. I put melafix in the tank and i think it made him better.
