Acclimating 4" GSP to brackish

[Maduro]

Hi, I picked up a "medium" GSP today my local fish place had him in regular water. I know he needs to be in brackish water...how slow or fast should I convert him? I don't want to risk shocking him and he's already pretty big so he likely needs to be in brackish "yesterday".

Increase the salt over a week. It should be fine adding little by little and watching the salinity.

Thanks for the response. 1 week acclimation it is.

You need to raise the salinity by around 0.002 per week during water changes till you reach your desired salinity level...

I’d go with fat homer suggests. Much better with puffers than I.
