Hello,
I have had fish for years so I really know better BUT, when I went to get some new fish for my classroom community tank ( am a teacher) I saw the cutest little dwarf puffer fish and bought it. THEN I came home and started to research them. BAD FISH OWNER!
Well I am now starting a new tank 20 long for the little guy and while that is getting started he is in a small tank waiting.
I know not to have him get the tank started. I have a few little tetras that will cycle the tank while I start getting plants and making a happy home for him.
I look forward to learning about these little guys.

Re: New Here and to Puffers
Better yet, move gravel from your established tank and let it seed the tank welcome! You will soon see that's it's almost impossible to have just one dp!
