Hey Guys

Is the Narrow Lined puffer/Arothron manilensis defenatly Salt Water?

I sent a message to this guy on Youtube asking if he had his Narrow Lined puffer/Arothron manilensis in freshwater because in the video there's a freshwater fish in the tank with him. He replied saying that it was collected in Australian Brackish waters. Is this right? (link below)

Just because a SW fish occasionally visits BW/FW, doesn't mean it belongs there for life, which I'm afraid will be quite short for that puffer on Youtube. .

The implication would be that the two fish were both visiting BW - estuaries and such are high nutrient areas.

Lots of fish visit but do not necessarily live there. +1 to PPs comments. The fish is SW.

the post is from january, hopefully the puff is still alive. i doubt it though. probably too long for it to go without any salt at all
