BETTY BOO
Fish Crazy
ive been reading up on figure 8 puffers for the last few months but ive had an interest in them for the last 3yrs.
ive read so many people say there 100% only brackish
others have said they are 100% freshwater
and others say they are fine in freshwater as juveniles but should be converted to brackish later.
all the info i have read have come from figure 8 puffer owners and not from lfs.i dont ever bother asking them.
anyway why is there so much different advise??
are they 1 or the other or are they both??
some people say how would a tank bred puffer know how a wild puffer lives???
some say a clownfish in the wild knows exactly what an anemone is where as you stick one in with a tankbred clown and there like what the heck is that? im not saying i agree or disagree.i would just love to hear your views on them and your experiences on keeping them.so many people say they have had success in keeping them both ways so there comes the confusion.
ive decided to keep them myself.my lfs get them in freshwater so i have decided to convert them to brackish in the next month.they get them in at 1 inch.do you think me keeping them in freshwater for 3/4 weeks then slowly turning them brackish will be fine?? i pick them up sat morning.
