How are they settling in? Any more pictures? :D

Pretty much stripped Tony's tank, scrubbed all his plants and wood, de-algaed all the glass, big water change, cleaned out the filter. Very very satisfying

They're cute as hell :)

Just a thought, but if your cupboard is 45cm above the work top and you want a tank that's 30cm tall that doesn't leave you a lot of room for access. There might be ways round it but it's definitely something to consider

Pet fish every time. Nothing compares to the character of something like a puffer fish for me. Every time my parents are round they comment on how my puffer isn't very colourful, they just don't get it

Not very long at all, think it was less than a week. Excellent customer service from them too :)

Is it Colomesus asellus that you're after? If so Kesgrave Tropicals have them listed on ebay at the moment. I was very reluctant to use ebay initially but I got my Figure Eight puffer from Kesgrave Tropicals and they were brilliant

I'm sorry I haven't read all of this (it's been a long day) but I just wanted to chip in about puffers. Figure eights are generally pretty chilled from all the stuff I've read in researching before getting mine and they're supposedly pretty accepting of tank mates too. However 11 gallons is not...

  I love this!   This is the sorta thing I go for too. My puffer is called Tony. As in Tony Stark

I don't think I really have an ideal set up just ideal fish

On my own tank - Full water test, siphon, 50% water change   Tanks at work - I could write a list as long as my arm

We use the TMC V2 refractometers where I work and they always seem to be pretty reliable

Exciting! Hope they arrive safely and can't wait to see pictures!

Puffers generally aren't very fussy eaters so I'm sure they'll take all of those readily. My little guy (he's a figure eight) hasn't refused anything I've fed him yet, greedy little thing haha

I don't have a lot to offer in the way of advice but keep us updated with lots of pictures when they arrive!   And yeah I think you're right about the shrimps, unless they're very quick I think they will probably end up as food
