Voted puffer tank too.
But don't know much about them apart from keeping them in a tank of there own.
Thought puffers didn't get on with there own kind, is this true.

males dont get on but males and a few females do as long as there are plenty of hiding places apparently its 3 us gallonsper puffer

Ok Thanks.

They do sound like interesting fish.

would two females get on?or is it definatley 1 puffer per tank (sorry rocknur world, didnt see your post before i posted)

 

[WILDER]

There little cutie pies. Just watched the vid.
Wouldn't mind some myself.

 

[Truck]

i think its so funny how he rolls over and his eyes cna move independently like a drunken idiot but theyre so cute, im definatley getting one or two, can anybody tell me if two females would co-exist together? or should stick with the one?

 

[Truck]

im looking at doing something like this or similar (obviously wont look as good )

but more stems at the back for cover.

a bit ambitious i know, but the plamts will have time to esablish prior to adding.

its also recomended that they have a sand substrate due to burying apparently

 

[rocknurworld2006]

imo just one puffer mate for a tank that size

lookforward to seeing the tank when u get it going

good luck!

 

[Truck]

thanks alot rocknurworld

i cant wait i ordered the tank today, picking it up on the monday after i break up next week : i cannot wait!

im oredering £40 of plants for this tank and im going to use CO2 and the lower PH will make the snails i introduce slightly easier for them to eat. whilst keeping their beeks in shape.

going for sand too!

 

[WILDER]

40 pounds in plants worth more than the tank lol.
Don't forget to steralise the plants first as they can carry parasites.

 

[Truck]

i will sterilise them but theyre all tropica if that makes a difference (grown emmersed ecept the vallis which is coming from my main tank), does anybody thing that a small power head iwll affect them? because i need to be able to get good flow for CO2 distribution.

ive opted for a small HOB filter
