Welcome to Fish Lore

According to PFP's puffer guide, sand is preferred.
General Guide to Puffer Care

I know other members keep them and will be able to help you further.

We'd love to see some pics, puffers are adorable fish!

They are in brakish water. Do u have a recomendation on what kind of sand i should get they are coming home on friday evening so the tank could get set up

congrats!

i'd definitely suggest pool filter sand, it's heavier and smoother than play sand and will rinse a whole lot cleaner. since it's heavier it's not as likely to clog your filter or get sucked up by your gravel vacuum.

Hi
I recommend an aragonite-based sand to buffer your pH.
