Default attention all fig 8 and gsp puffer keepers!!!

as i was doing my daily surf on the web i ran into this thread at another forum check it out

http://www.fishgeeks.com/index.php?n...wtopic&t=14663

n e ways it was a debate weather fig 8 and green spotted puffers are fresh water or brackish fish.....after reading that website and checking www.fishbase.org (gets all their info from ichthyologists) says they are freshwater fish and aggie marine said that "osmotic pressure testing on the cells of T. nigroviridis reveal that it is indeed best suited for fresh water." ........wow n e doubts that i ever had on people who keeps their fish in freshwater my apologies i will learn to bite my tongue and be more open minded

It's nice when someone actually gives a reason behind why to do one thing or another... like osmotic pressure.
