Salinity for F8
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2007 10:36 am
Finally we got back home, all 5 of us (my dog, my 3 new puffers and me). Two of my new puffers are F8s, beautiful specimens! As they were kept in FW in the shop, I will start a very slow raising of the salinity from FW to BW. My filter is cycled in FW too, so this will have to go slowly. But what is the best salinity for a 1 inch F8?
BTW, one of them has a small injury on his back. The two newest F8s in the shop both had it, and in the same place as well. Can it be them biting each other or something like that. I would think their fins would be the better place to bite each other, but this is on the middle of their backs. I made sure I picked the one that looked the most healty of them, and hope I can give him the care to heal him. Any good advices on this one? Except good care and keeping meds prepared if needed. I will give them a round of Flubenol, to make sure they are free of IPs.
I will give you an update with pics later on, but I will leave them in peace for today, to give them the time to settle in. I already love them. They are so cute!
Just another BTW: Bolla, my GSP got a bigger tank right before I went on vacation. And she seems more healthy now, even after two weeks of no food or water changes.
Her colors are better So there you have the need for enough space! It's not only the water quality that matters (I have very good routines for water changes), but also the space to have a good time
