New Tank With New Fish

[ask a stupid question]

Yeah I know there only freshwater at a young age, but its not in there permentary. And the gouramis chase the puffer. My GSP is so friendly doesn't harm a thing.

That may be the case now, but as he gets bigger, you will most definately have problems. If it is a Spotted Congo (Congo's are completely different) then you can keep it in fresh water in another tank.

The gourami won't be feeling so big after your GSP - which I think it is - has a go at him. They have very sharp teeth.

Also puffers have a completely different diet to those other fish. Your puffer is a carnivore, as are all puffers, although some will take vegetables. It is not a main part of their diet however, and you should feed them meats. Check out Oddballs Institute or the Brackish Forum for more info.

I'm glad to hear it. I would also be glad to hear that he has moved soon.

Sorry to sound really evil and nasty and be one of "Puffer Nazis" as they are collectively called, and reading back on this post, I seem to be a little harsh.

Again, I'm sorry to be so nasty.

WOW maybe you can plant the tank up more...leaving just the left part with the pot and the stones ( best part of all ) and those other big rocks infront or in the bushes of plants..that'll look AWSOME!
