For some reason this forum automatically converted my link... not cool. I'll space it out.

The reason why it does so is because it is not allowed to link or direct members in any way to competing forums. So by spacing out the link, you're technically breaking the forum rules.

Snige, you can find most of your answers in threads on this forum already, but we'll all be happy to help you out on questions you might have =) So shoot away!

Quite a helpful thread can be found here:
Small brackish puffers

Most agreed on facts (notice the *most agreed on* bit, many people have different opinions on this):
- Min tank required is a 10G
- Min amount of water per figure 8 when keeping more than 1 is 15G a puffer
- SG level of around 1.005
- Limited amount of tank mates though are often reported to get along with bumble bee gobies & knight gobies

Though these puffers aren't the most aggressive they can and will be territorial. You are not guaranteed to have more than 1 puffer live peacefully together, and any tank mates are at risk at any time. Puffers are known for getting along with tankmates for days/months/years and then suddenly turning on them. They are however lovely fish with a whole lot of personality, and even if it turns out you can only keep 1 in a tank, they tend to still be worth it.

I don't see why there should be a problem linking to another forum, and as for competition, are we trying to help other aquarists give their fish a great capitve life or are we trying to win some kind of forum award? Nobody can tell me that this forum is a better source of puffer information, and first hand experience, than a forum 100% devoted to keeping puffers... am I right?
