My New 10g Dwarf Puffer Tank

[fishtankkid]

Your tank looks great so far

The jury is still out on cory's with the DP, some people have had success, whilst others have had carnage! I tried my peppered cory's with my DP a couple of weeks back & they were fine, but they didnt seem as happy as in my larger tank, so they are back in there happily swimming round as a pack.

You will need tons more plants than you already have & lots of hidy holes but i'm sure you already know that. I've found smaller terracotta pots are a fave place for them, they look nice with a bit of java fern tied on, they also really love moss balls.

Thx alot I will try to get some pots, i am already geting dritwood though so the decor might be getting a bit over the top
I sure like moss balls and can get them quite cheap too!

put corys in first

then little puffers

I already knew that but thx all the same
For anyone else who didnt know that you should try and add the other fish first so they can sort out territories before the puffers even get there

THX ALOT GUYS

you will have alot better luck with only one dp, two may work for a while but once they get bigger they generally dont get along unless they have plenty of room.

Sorry with the bad news, but you will enjoy having one more, it will be more friendly.

Yes they are clean lol, sorry to hear about those goldies
Ill get the puffers when its cycled, approx another 2 or three weeks depending on how long i leave it
Sounds like ages i know but time flies when ure having fun

by the ways if my puffers lay eggs, will the cories eat the eggs???

My DPs shredded the fins of two juvenlie corys that had grown from fry I missed when changing over from a community setup. Wouldn't recommend it based on personal experience.

Ok! Im thinking id rather have a pair of possible spawning puffers than a shredded mess of cory cats with two angry puffers

the java fern and anubias need to be tied to something not planted in the substrate like that. in case you didnt know already. they'd be good tied to the dirftwood you siad you were getting. or a rock.
