10 gallon breeding guppies & snails!

Post by benkyo819 »

Hi everyone,

I have two questions that need all of your help.

1. Is 10 gallon enough to provide food for 3-4 puffers? Currently have only one.
2. I live in Southern California, anyone know where I can get ramshorn snails?

Thank you everyone for your info in advance!

First I would like to thank you for the fast reply!!!
Greatly appreciated!

36 gallon bowfront

1 Palembang (Humpback, Dragon) puffer
1.5 inches
Alive & happy in the tank!

1 Figure 8 puffer
1 inch
Died probably because of I should of thaw the frozen blood worm b4 serving
Symptom: can't balance itself very well and also swimming head up vertically and wiggly

1 Don't know the name of it (can't find info of it online either)
It's more sleek and not around so it moves a lot faster than most puffers
Kinda dirt color with some black spots (for sure, it's not GSP cuz they are common & I know 'em)
almost 1 inch
Died cuz the frozen blood worm
Symptom: stayed in one spot on substrate and not moving, he is the most active among the puffers.



I'm pretty sure it's because of the frozen blood worm because my Humpback doesn't eat the blood worm.

mixing puffers is a bad idea. The Palembang may have been attacking them. Always thaw and rinse frozen food
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
