Green Spotted Pufferfish - Salt?

[Hubble'sowner]

So, I know GSP are brackish.

I am planning on getting some in the near future. I have, and am, doing my reserch before I get some. That, plus i still need to get a tank set up.

First off, about how much salt do you need (per gallon, lets say)

Also, do they need aquarium salt, or marine salt?

Thank you

Marine aquarium salt. The salt used in freshwater tanks is essentially just sodium chloride, and while useful as a medication for treating certain parasites, doesn't do much else. Marine salt mix contains a variety of minerals, and besides raising salinity, it also raises carbonate hardness, general hardness, and pH.
