Freshwater Dip Valentini Puffer: Safe or Avoid

[reefrubble]

Hi Fellow Reefers,

I prefer to give all of my fish that can safely tolerate it a freshwater dip during their 2 month quarantine prior to releasing them into my display tank. I never exceed 5 minute long freshwater dips and remove fish early if I witness any concerning behavior outside of what I normally observe during these dips. Because pufferfish do not have scales and differ from most marine fish in multiple other ways, I am hesitant to do a freshwater dip without hearing from people with experience doing so or who avoid freshwater dips for this type of fish.

I have made this post into a poll and would appreciate it if those who are familiar with the matter could provide their input. Please also provide any other helpful details too!

Thanks,

ReefRubble

Assuming you do everything properly, I don’t see why there should be an issue.
