* Bio Spira will help cycle your tank. It contains the proper live bacteria, which is why it's refrigerated. That's what the other "Zyme" stuff is junk; it's not refrigerated and the bacteria would be dead for the most part

* Use plain tap water. Anything you are filtering out is probably stuff the fish need.

* NO aquarium salt as it will shorten their life span. They're freshwater fish, not pickles.

* Green Spotted Puffers are high-end brackish to full marine fish. Francis may live a few of months or so at the LFS, but if they don't move him to brackish, he will die.
