Hi, new to this site, just working out how to navigate around... new to keeping puffers too!

Ive only been on here 5 mins and am worried!!!

i went into the shop today to ask how to rid my tank of snail infestation and was sold two puffers, having never seen them so tiny before i asked how big they grow...' a couple of inches max (dwarf puffers) ' i was told.. 'fine for smaller tanks...will get rid of your snails no problem and very loveable little fish they are too..can live with other fish no problems'

turns out i have purchased two green spotted puffers (although v small a present)

from reading on here i need brackish water ..............help! (how do i do this?????)

The tank has been set up for long time, i do check my levels which are both fine,
I had originally had just a few mollies and a couple glass fish but lost most due to white spot

So now i have

1 panda mollie
1 glass fish

and two newly purchased green spotted puffers ...

advice would be appreciated :(
