   Hey gang ,

                i just start today a new tank that i buy on special at super pet . I already have 10 dwarfs puffers but since that not enough for me , i start a new one , but this time a brackish water . I want those beautiful green spotted puffer  :D . Just to say like "les tetes a claques  , je capote "  ;D


      I never have a brackish water tank before , so i will be very careful . I'm gone a put salt in my tank and wait and see . I hope everthing will go fine . I'm like a kid in a candy store .

If you have any link info on brackish water you can send me a pm . I already have made some research on the subjet , but we never have to many information . It's help us to grow and be the kind of person we are wright now .

Don't forget to buy the proper equipment ie hydrometer so that you have the right salt levels and don't kill your little guys.

I did some reasearch on the green spotted puffer myself thinking of setting up or adding to and existing tank, green spotted puffers are highly territorial and will grow to a size of 6 inches, and in a 30 you should only have 2 max for they require spacious surroundings. they need to be kept in a species tank.  :) hope this helps.

if you have a canister filter, drop a hand ful of them inside it next time you clean it, they will breed like mad in there. and I think they actually help in there.
