Yeah don't do it. Not worth risking as you have more working against you than for you.

As mentioned above though. I would be willing to travel. Maybe could meet you half way? 1.5 hrs is better than 3!

2 hours if the A1 is clear :)

That's doable. Would be willing to maybe travel half-way, or even to North of London, say Barnet? What sort of setup do you have for him?

Where abouts are you? I would possible be willing to travel if the right home was there for him.

I'll have some please :hyper: Thank you!

:good: I agree

Hi Mercury As arobinson said you will benefit from moving your filter media over to the new tank to help it mature. With regards to moving the fish, I would get some plastic bags (most LFS will give you them free) and re-acclimatise them to the new tank. Although things like your pH and...

Hi Echinoderm Sounds like a lovely little setup you've got there! Mixing Dwarf Puffers with any other fish can be very very difficult. Mainly, due to the fact that every puffer has a different personalitity. Mixing them with shrimp is certainly a no - you really cannot trust the puffers to...

Cheers Neale. Like you say, if nothing else, it's an excuse for 'another' puffer tank! The breeding will probably seem easy in comparison to pursuading the Mrs to let me have another tank!! :unsure:

Good tanks this month. I think there is a perfect planted tropical and a perfect reef tank to choose from. Will be interesting to see if the majority prefer Tropical or Marine. :hyper:

Yeah I agree, it's very frustrating! I think I will try and get another 3. Hopefully I can introduce these to the 2 I have (I'll stick them in a new, bigger tank together) and then provide plenty of caves and then just hope for the best!! Thanks for your help Neale.

Yeah I've been trying to find some concrete information but everyone that has done this seems to have just been lucky and moreover, hasn't been able to either identify which pair, in a group, has mated, or any difference between the male and female. However, it is generally agreed that the male...

OK Neale, thank you. They are probably about 6-7cm long now, so a decent size. From what you are saying is sounds very difficult to judge if I have a pair or not!! I suppose the only true way of getting a breeding project going is to get a group of say 5? Or would that not be good practice...
