My roomate has a figure eight puffer that he wants to give to me. I have a freshwater tank. This is my stock. 3x small angelfish, 1 pearl gourami, 1 dwarf flame gourami, 1 small catfish, 1 small tire track eel, 1 crawfish, 1 small ghostknife, 2 bolivian rams, and 4 very small kribensis. I also have loads of live plants
The puffer has lived in my buddies freshwater tank for 3 months now, but I know that they need brackish water or they will eventually die.
My question is, can i treat my tank with a little aqauriuma salt each week to keep this thing alive, or will the salt harm my other fish? In other words, what fish can not tolerate ANY SALT, and what plants can not tolerate ANY SALT. Or, if you really know your stuff, will my plants/fish be able to tolerate the minimum amount of salt it takes to keep a puffer alive? Thanks.
