Butis Butis

Does anyone know anything about Butis Butis, the crazy fish. They're a brackish sleeper goby that reaches about 6 inches but other than that can't find out anything. Hardness? pH? Setup?

These are brackish and prefer a higher ph than 7 and slightly hard water. Prefer rock and driftwood to hide and rest in. Cool oddball.

I only have extremely hard and RO water. Which would be better?

Would check what ur gh as they should be able to handle the a good deal of hardness.

 

[EntoStentor]

468 ppm.

Higher than expected. Can always do 1/2 tap water and 1/2 ro water. Should be fine to mix that way.

 

[EntoStentor]

ehhh...idk. Does it mix well?

Yes. Check the hardness after.

Ok, so exactly how brackish does it have to be? Can it be 1.006 like my other setup? Or does it have to be higher?

Can try the crazy fish in 1.006. Don’t think it has to be higher.
