New Here and to Puffers

Post by IDPF »

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.

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!
