Haven't seen brackish water based tanks in a while. I remember a few years ago watching a video on a brackish water tank with Mudskippers. Speaking of which, you should try to raise some! Great job in your videos as always.

Well done on the instructions on puffers a lot of people get them without looking in to it witch leads to death and also Zeus could do with a little more plants to hide for a place to hide but amazing job

@ Wild world of Farley brother you rock keep up the great content plus many blessings onto you and your beautiful family much love from Cape Breton Nova Scotia and stay strong in these crazy times

Might wanna treat Zeus for internal paracites as well at the 7:50 mark where his eating the snail he has a mad stringy white poo

Ese pez globo es de agua dulce!!! No salada, solo tolera la sal en cierta medida pero no la necesita!!! Morirá en poco tiempo!!! 🥺

Nice brackish water setup there. Been thinking to have one of those. This quarantine days just been busy doing water change, and looking and feeding my community fish and betta.

I was literally thinking how great of a name for a lil' puffer, Puff Daddy would be. Nice.

Does adding marine salt effect the bacteria in the aquarium with regards the nitrate cycle? Is it the same type of bacteria in both the fresh and brackish water nitrate cycle or do we have to cycle an independent tank specifically set up as brackish in order to establish a proper environment to transfer them to? Or can you simply alter their current environment from freshwater to brackish with no issue?

7 comment Farley thank you for the amazing content and thank you for making quarantine fun Love your videos 👍💯

Loved that, thank you. My favourite little puffers

Get a bumble bee gobbie and name it biggie. Even though its a small fish.they tend to get along.

Hell ya yeeaahhhh!!!

Thank you for this! I have a figure 8 puffer that I’ve had in a freshwater tank for almost a year with some tropical fish and I want to switch him over to a brackish tank!!

What's good today Farley, thanks got sharing the knowledge. I do a lot of water testing at work but nothing that applies to fish keeping.

Great video! This was the first time a see a video of yours. And I really love it. Great filming, nice background music and you really give good information. I also have a figure 8 puffer, but he/she is still in freshwater, think I have to change the water from fresh into brackish soon. Thank You 🙏🏻

Puffy daddy is not to be outdone by Zeus lol love em both cool fish champ

What about making the tank more interesting? And you need a bigger filter plus a sponge filter that is separate He’s gonna get bored in that tank He needs to acclimate slower to beamish over a couple weeks

when P-Diddy is over 2 feet long in his pool pond... hope nobody thinks it's a hot tub, cuz he is always hungry for some 'snails'... ;)

Thank you for making this! I’m thinking of getting a figure 8 puffer and want to do some research on them, is feeding them pretty costly? I have a mandarin dragonet and she needs tons of money for her pods. Haha. In my saltwater tank

Thank you so much for this video yesterday I bought a green spotted puffer fish not knowing what I got into I noticed he wasn’t feeling himself and was doing my research and thank the Lord you posted about us you save my puffer fish God bless you his name is Jabba the Hutt 🥰

Do an update on your figure 8 I have two of them they are amazing fish.

I just lost one of my newish f8s this morning he wasn't doing great to start with his belly would never fill up and go round like the others after eating it was likemit was collaped inward I feel like crap I hate to loose a fish! Puffers are my favourite I love your MBU what age will he be? I want one myself I've went and got the big tank set up for one but want one the size you have to bring him up as my own! Most for sale are massive people can't keep no longer I'm holding out to find a younger one first before making that move if I have too!

Enjoyed this video a lot good stuff. Stay safe stay wildn’

Then throw in some mollies and call them Jr. Mafia.

Hey bro is your figure 8 still Alive? I slow dripped my puffer for about 5 hours until he reached the salinity of 1.004. My water is good as well I had him for 2 months I have a Seachem ammonia checker that monitors all day it’s safe. My ph, kh, nitrates, hardness, and temperature is fine. He seemed to have gotten stressed out turned really dark and was not eating he was like that for about three days and died. Any recommendations I see you had success.

Hi Farley I have this Figure 8 Puffer that is basically healthy. He eats good and is not picked on, but he does a lot of pacing, aka glass surfing. Also, occasionally, he'll go into this eratic pattern where he'll swim like he's drunk, go in circles, run into things, etc. Then, he'll mysteriously snap out of it. First time I saw this I thought I was losing him. I have a well furnished and planted 55g brackish tank for him, but he still surfs a lot. Have you ever encountered this drunken behavior in puffers??

You the best ..💪💪

So cool bro 👌 watching from the Philippines 😁

Thanks for showing us how to make a brackish water fish tank thats the next fish tank on my list

I’m pretty sure they even grow up in brackish water in the wild, and while the figure 8 stays in its brackish climate, leopard puffers often migrate to the ocean.

Cool thanks love that name

Can you transition them over relatively instantly because everyone’s iffy on if you should wait 6 weeks or 1 hour please help I have 6 green spotted puffers and I have everything I need to transition just don’t know how to quite yet? Thanks in advance

I hope everything works out fine !!

My future 8 doesn't seem very well I have had him for about 3 weeks and he's not looking to good for the past 4 days so I'm guessing it's because I have him in fresh water

Hey Farley, you ever thought about a Lemon Oscar? I have a tiger Oscar in a 90 gallon aquarium, but I would love to own a Lemon Oscar they look so cool.

@ Wild world of Farley brother can I ask you how much I can expect to have to pay for a figure 8 puffer if I choose that type of puffer fish

Baby puffers would be 😎

Is this about adult size ?

More CASTNET VIDS! ITS illegal here 😢

Is brackish salt ok I'm not used to this salt

I see 'uses lake water' I hit subscribe.

Your puffer name is puff daddy...😂

hello I have a 10 gallon tank. Can I put those fish in there or is it to small?

How many cups of salt do I need to put in my measuring cup for a 20 gallon ?

Maybe you can get a green spotted puffer to and put in with Zeus

Yay thanks man do you remember me saying he should hopefully live for about 10 years now, you may want to add some hiding places and his looks a bit white as he is blending into the sand.

I have to make this clear. A brackish water fish means that it can handle large changes of salinity. Some grow up in salt and live in fresh, so its the other way around. Others stay right in middle. They need a bit of salt in their life's. It does not mean that all brackish fish need it. A bull shark shouldnt even be on the list of brackish water. It can live its whole life in fresh water just fine. It can live its whole life in salt water just fine.

Very informative. What kind of substrate you recommend for puffers

i was told to acclimatise my puffer over the course of a couple of weeks so i just done it by adding salt to get same concentration as u did but just done it through couple weeks doing it thru water changes so it was more diluted when added to tank and just kept doin it with water changes feel like i wasted a lot of time after seein ur vid haha😂

Anyone who knows: would this be good water conditions for a diamondback terrapin?

Hello. Just watched your video because I recently acquired a figure 8 and was wondering the how to for making brackish water. I was wondering since mine is already in his fresh water tank if I can convert to brackish while he is in it? Also do they prefer any specific kind of snail? I hear it helps keep their beaks down and I work for a pet store that has "pest snails" all in our aquariums that I can get for free. I don't honestly know anywhere else to get snails small enough.

Hey Farley, I had a question I was hoping for someone to answer. If I use a regular filter will it remove the salt from the tank?

What kind/brand of soil did you use for the tank? I’m looking for kind like this.

So question, I have my figure 8 in fresh right now and want to slowly add the salt to the tank... so do I add when I do water changes?

What if you don’t have an instant ocean hydrometer???

YES SIR THAT'S MY NAME YEAH

I'm debating between getting a green spotted puffer or a figure 8

Nice I have a figure 8 named George

So how much brackish salt for 10 gallon tank?

Nice close ups, perhaps get a stand to keep the camera steady?

Is getting water from lakes for these tanks safe? I want to know so I can make my own brackish tank for a figure 8 puffer

How often do you feed your fresh water puffer fish???

Is that an Anubias in Zeus new tank?

Lol I named my Figure 8 Diddy

what kind of puffer is puff daddy

Are Pea Puffers brackish?

Pufferfish are honestly cute and bad A at the same time

They need brackish water for their internal organs to work properly... They die in fresh water... Brackish water is the way to go!x

Zeus looks like he wants a friend, looks kinda lonely

I’m a new subscriber what you got ? Oh you’re with catch them all fishing

Like If Farley let's you fill your CIIs early at his pharmacy 😤😤😤😤

Please teach nick bingo

Primeiro

segundo

I like the singing but p.diddy we need a biggie.

Br

How how many inches/cm do mbu puffers grow per month?
