I have a plan... hopefully it's a good plan...
A little history.
Bought two fish at Petsmart. Didn't do my research first... I just wanted a couple bottom dwellers.
They were Silver Tipped Sharks. (STS)
Did some research on them.. after the fact......:butt:
Low and behold, they are born in freshwater, reside in brackish during the adolescent years, and then opt for saltwater in adulthood. (At least from what I read)
So back to the plan... I have a 70 gallon freshwater. (currently goldfish, but they will be moving to an indoor pond soon) After relocating the goldfish, I plan on adding the STS's to the tank and adding salt. (not sure what brand yet)
I plan on acquiring a refractometer do watch salt levels. Gradually, during the following 12 months or so, I plan on upping the salt level to a specific gravity of 1.022.
Along the way, I plan to add live rock, lighting, protein skimmer, etc.
Has anyone done this? And will it work?
It is either this, or get rid of my STSs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dave
