Any advice on raising a green spotted puffer fish2007-11-24 23:09:34

I bought a green spotted puffer before, but it kept spazzing out, and died within a week. I'm going to get another one, but I'm going to get different things to keep it in and entertained with. I wanna make sure it lives longer than the first one.

Answers:

First, find out if the store is keeping it in fresh water or brackish water(most sell them as freshwater fish). GSP's are brackish water fish, and if they're sold as a fresh water, they'll need to slowly over time be acclimatized to brackish. They need great water quality & a tank that's already cycled, and a tank that's at least 20-30 gallons. Mine loved frozen blood worms and frozen or live brine shrimp, and cut up pieces of cocktail shrimp. Here's a great site with loads of info on puffers:

Click on the brackish puffers picture and it'll give you a profile of GSP's. There's also a good forum there. I'd read up on them a lot before buying it. They can be a bit of work if you're not used to it.
