Puffer Update, Still Not Full Marine, But Acclimating Well

[phlawed]

this is my acclimating tank for him until he gets a little bigger, sides are cut some but its a good pic so figured i would post it. I think brack forums think its a little to non brackish for their likings, but puffer loves it so thats what is important.

FOWLR is the plan right now. I might be looking into an eel as tank mate, but options are limited either way. But he has enough personality IMO to suite me fine for a long time.

added tankmate to puffer tank today. Both seem to be doing well with each other so far. Only time will tell. its a Gymnothorax tile moray eel or common name freshwater snowflake eel. Although they are not freshwater hehe, but some say they can be, but then agian some say GSP's are freshwater as well. But anyways, he acclimated well up tank salinity and handled everything quite well i believe. I will get some pics of him next weekend once he has settled in and is a little less scared. Dont want to frighten him if i dont have to.

I'm confused.......


Is a GSP FW or SW fish

I wanted to get one for my GF, well any small puffer. She loves them.

as they mature they go full marine, they do need 30-40 gallon tanks though, so not a small puffer
