I finally got my 30 gallon set up for my Arrowhead puffer. Everythign I read said to put in 4" sand for him to burrow in. I put in 4" and it looks like a lot of sand, but I hope the fish likes it. Found a nice rock that will make a good cave for hime to hide in. All I need now it to put in some plants. I was going to put in live plants, but it sounds like this fish will up root the plants all the time. So I am going to go with fake just to make it easier on myself.

Also the tank is cloudy as of now. I washed all the play sand before I put it in there, but it is still cloudy. From what I read this is normal, and it should go away. I put a sponge over my intake on the filter so I wouldn't ruin it. I also have a nother whisper 30 on the way to the house, I have heard these fish are dirty eaters so I figure the more filtration the better.

I put in media from my excisting tank and some ammonia. I am going to let this sit for about 2 weeks to get it cycled. Then I am going to get the puffer. I can't wait this fish is going to be awsome.

Well enough of my rambling. I just had to tell you guys, as all my friends think I am wierd for likeing this hobby so much.
 
Whoo. I'd love a puffer. They are awesome little creatures. I think I'd just get down about not being able to put anything in with them.

They are so awesome though. And it's alright, my friends think I'm weird to and my boyfriend (well, ex now - he was probably jealous of the fish!) thought I was uber weird for being an active member of a fish forum. *sigh*

They just don't understand the addiction!
