How to Make Brackish Water! Green Spotted Puffer Tank!

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.

My local fish store tried to sell me 2 of these for my 5 gallon fresh water tank 🙄 so glad I decided to come home and research before buying them

Awesome video and information. Thank you.

Neat video. Was very helpful.
I don't have a brackish tank but I think it would be cool to have one in the far future with gobies. I'll probably test it out with mollies first. Not sure if I'll get around to a small puffer. I would like to do a father fish method but salt makes it tricky with plants. Turns out there are a few plants that can handle brackish, but you have to watch the numbers, so you'd have to make sure the fish and plants match. Too bad there isn't easier information to find for live plants in brackish or even marine water. Lucky if you live near those bodies of water and can collect some of the plants.

I can’t thank you enough. I didn’t know how much it affected them, and understood that they were freshwater fish has well. I was researching because my figure 8 passed away today. I’m so upset. I still have my spotted puffer and will be buying marine salt this week. Thanks again! ❤️

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. 😀

Explained beautifully. Nice presentation. Educational. You have a new subscriber that is not easily triggered or complains on the internet! I might troll once in a while and ill probably be silent most of the time. Good luck growing your channel.

Thanks of the video. Just received 2 rescue puffers (Green Spotted and Figure 8) juveniles. They were kept together in a freshwater aquarium. Needless to say I have my work cutout in separating them and slowly accumulate them to Brackish water.

Your production quality is fantastic given how small a channel you are. Subscribed!

You and Mr. Pisces the cryptic Fish are my favorite Youtubers. Love these puffers :)

I’ve kept them for years…. They’ll do fine on the very lowest level brackish, technically not even brackish, for years…. Like 1-2 tablespoons of salt per 10 gallons. They just need a tiny bit of hardness to thrive…. Nice fish, they’re already pretty big, I love puffers too, so much personality.

😬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☮️ I love My BERNIE!! 🐡 LOVE THE HARDSCAPE AND PLANTS!!! Awesome job..AND YOU ANSWERED ALOT of my questions about moving him to full Marine ..THANK YOU!!😬🐡🐌❤️☮️🌱🌿🐚

[jamesd]

Awesome video. I'm just here to view the puffers.🥰

[melissagorrosquieta]

Thank you so much for this video!!!! You are the first person to tell me how to go from fresh to brackish. I have a figure 8 puffer that I have had for almost a year and he needs the brackish water. I only have the one because the guy at the fish store said he would be happy by his self. Thank you again loved your video.

I've just started my first water change from fresh water to brackish . It already has fresh water bacteria established, so what will happen to it as it changes to full brackish ?

[hhinojosareef]

They can actually live in full marine range and will live longer like you mentioned. I had spotted green puffers at my moms house for 8 years fresh water only lived 8 years got huge

[Startupsandsushi]

So excited to get mine! What’s your experience keeping multiple of the same species? How many gallons is your tank?

[tonysmmaclass]

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

[ReefMimic]

My buddy had a tank with those puffers . I always wanted them but never was able to find them
