Finally got in

Post by mislaura »

I have tried for awhile to join this group glad I finally got in. I have 3 pea puffers 2 females 1 mal. I had an awesome set up for them and came home one day to a crack in the bottom of the tank. So for 3 months now they have lived in my 75 gallon community tank and as afraid as I was to put them there I had no choice. I am happy to say they have done well and have not bothered any of the other fish in the 3 months they have been there. I have since got a 10 gallon tank but so far I am using it for a snails only tank but its there if a problem arises in the future

[welcome]
what was the problem getting in here?
Probably a good thing they're in a much larger tank, as in a 10g, those males would have fought badly.

I do not know why it wouldn't let me in. I filled out the requirements and it just wouldn't process so I would try every now and then an it finally worked. I never saw my puffers in the 12 gallon fluval they hid all the time. Now they swim in the wide open water with all the other fish. They have more of a tendency to chase each other then the other fish.
