I have 2 new Spotted Green Puffers , about adding salt?
I couldn't resist two of these little clowns at the pet store... and since they are tiny ones, I started with a 3 gallon tank on my desk...and lots of reading. I read they are fresh water to start with needing to slowing become brackish to low salt environment. It also says they want Hard -alkaline water. I'm wondering if putting a couple of small salt water mollusk shells, in the fresh water, would harden and alkalize, if not salt the water slowly? I've heard they are bad for fresh water tanks... so maybe good to start a fresh tank slowly become brackish? Advice anyone? On slowly raising salt and mineral levels?
PS. I'm feeding them pond snails, which I have an abundance of in my koi pond and bloodworms and they're eating great. I'll get them a 50 gallon tank in the next few months.
They're tetradon nigroviridis variety puffers...super personalities, super intelligent and tame.
