The Puffer Forum

Hi guys, need some help here..i told my LFS that i needed some salt for my puffer fish and he recommended me to get this. Im just wondering..isnt cichilids fresh water fish? i was thinking that i would require some marine salt instead to make my water brackish for my fig8s. What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading

Right! That cichlid salt just makes the water harder/gives it a higher pH. It's not actually salt. You need the same kind that you would use for a saltwater tank.

Well... it still is salt, just not the correct kind to make BW.

okay thanksz

So the kind of salt i would need is either sea salt or marine salt right?

Something like this:

Any salt that is used for a marine tank.
