Last night I rescued 3 Green spotted puffer from Walmart. All 3 were in horrible condition with Ick and Fungus. The 3 fish are in different conditions unfortunately 1 looks like he is well on his way to a full recovery the 2nd is moving a bit around in the Quarantine tank and the 3rd isnt doing well at all.
Question is I have them in a 10G tank (yes I know its to small but I'm working on that) I have added Fungus and Ick cure to the tank but I was wondering if I added Instant Ocean and brought the Salinity up to the proper SG for a Brackish water enviroment would that kill or help speed up the Recovery Process?
I also need to add that it was late at night when I went and fortunately for me and the fish there were only 3 tags under the tank 1 read Bala Sharks the 2nd was Assorted potted plants and the 3rd was Algae Eaters @ $1.97 each. No where in there Display was Green Spotted puffer . So when I finally got assistance it was a very old employee and her guess was Algae eater which I replied "great I can use some of those" IMO all Walmart fish sales need to stop there is no way they do enough business to make it worthwhile for them to continue. I bet they kill more fish than any 5 yr old ever could.
