How to make Brackish Water? I had to learn this weekly over the past with when I was sold a Green Spotted Puffer Fish as Freshwater fish! In this video I show how to make Brackish Water. I was specifically going for a Salinity of 1.014. Of course when making Brackish water yourself you have to use the correct about Salt needed for the Salinity level you are going for. Research what Salinity level you need for your Brackish fish and use the correct amount. If you enjoy the video please like comment and subscribe!
I have a 45 gal do i continue to add 5 gallons at a time with the half cup of instant ocean till the tank is full ?
I'm a logical guy and I elaborate a lot myself.. but I'm sorry.. I couldn't follow anything you said whatsoever.. so I'm a little frustrated.
Can I have just 1 gsp in 12 gallons?
Awesome video. I'm just here to view the puffers.🥰
Plz add the update video in Description. Cheers!
I'm getting some of these next week I absolutely love your channel..binge watching..as these will be my first brackish .
I was sold 4 spotted puffers in full fresh, i acclimated them to full marine over the course of water changes, I increased the salinity 2 to 4 ppm every time. They are doing great now in my full salt tank
give them lots of plants and hiding places. lower than brackish works better for fresh water plants. Java fern is most tollrtrmy og dslt to s oint.
offer them live snails : ramshorns. bladder. pondsnails. I think you got it backwards. the big one is the dominant male, the other two could be male orfemale.
FYI you want to set the salt levels lower than "official" brackish water. Euryhaline fish can handle 100% fresh or 100% salt water. they prfer salty water on the fresher side, just a few 0.01's below brackish.
My buddy had a tank with those puffers . I always wanted them but never was able to find them
How are they doing now ?
What size tank is your setup???
So I just got some leopard puffers kind of in the same situation...and my only concern is that making a brackish tank will kill off my live plants. If I do it slowly will they survive? Otherwise I don't really know if I can keep them :( I love my plants.
Can I use water from like my sink and use dechlorinator or do I need RODI water like for marine aquariums?
You and Mr. Pisces the cryptic Fish are my favorite Youtubers. Love these puffers :)
My favorite pet shop had these green spotted puffer fish. I never seen these cute fish. So i ask the lady at the pet store. How you take care of these. You know what she told me. Lol. She told me. They are fresh water fish and eat fish food. So i trusted her. So when i got home. I put the green spotted puffer fish in my 30 gallon. I also have a 55 gallon but its got a turtle in there. So i wanted to look these guys up. I got upset. Bc the lady i trusted told me the wrong thing to take care of them. So now im in the Process of getting stuff for this little guy. So now i got to learn how to take care of a saltwater aquarium lol. When it gets bigger. And i will have to get another big tank. 😆.. but the green spotted puffer fish is so cute!!! I fed mine cut up Oysters last night. Lol. I like your videos. 😀
How off we do you do water change? And I’m assuming you need to mix new salt into the water going back into tank?
How do your puffers do with each other? Im not sure if i can put more than one puffer dude in a tank.
