Question
What is the water that you ship the puffer in, brackish, or freshwater

Green Spotted Puffer
I read all the good reviews for the company and I was initially impressed. I am from Oklahoma so I was hesitant about ordering online. I received my puffer after about 2 days of placing the order. The puffer is active and eating. But it is definitely not the healthiest. The tail fin is damaged severely, as well as the white-round lesions on my puffer. However, I am so far neutral about the company due to the swiftness of shipping.
