You did an awesome job on the unique decor! However I agree that some sand or crushed coral would not hurt or even some regular gravel. The puffers can be a little finicky about open spaces like that and become stressed.
Yes, I wanted to comment also about this. Very unique designs, love the ceramic city! Those are great for housing good nitrifying bacteria, too. :)

But I do agree--your puffers will feel more at "home" & secure, in a heavily-decorated tank. Here was my 55g GSP tank. I had to re-home though, because they outgrew it.

All fake decor. ;)
wow, i very like photo !!!
Of first time I saw this fish to the tank!!!

So your tank is only two GSP puffers?

nice puffer village
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

I also had a Ceylon in there. Way too many fish for a 55g! They all got separate, large marine tanks.

We must do an upgrade of the board, before these things will work again. Please be patient. Many of our Library articles have been posted in the Library forum here.

There you are with the minimalist tanks again!

Here is my fahaka's:

The divider doesn't look very sturdy. Don't be surprised if you find it knocked over with 2 dead fish.

81l with a fahaka and 2 congos. You need to do some serious shopping or rehome your puffers until you can get at least sensible homes. Sorry if I sound harsh but your fishkeeping verges on animal cruelty.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

T.K. I am sorry if we do sound harsh but these setups aren't going to be recieved well here. We only want the best for the puffers and to save you heart break in the near future.
Fahaka - 120 gallon minium no tank mates.
Congo - 30 gallons each, seperate tanks.

PufferPunk does have some awesome tanks, but adding more decor right now isn't going to help these guys with the amount of space your working with.

As it stands now you really do have to start planning some serious upgrades or try to find your water buddies new homes. Good luck with whatever you do decide.

Congo puffers need sand to bury in.
That's gravel in there, right? Also, what filtration is on there? The tank looks cloudy & those close lights look hot!

I think you are right, I very much agree with everyone saying,But can not say I Cruelty to Animals, Because Taiwan Forum did not say a puffer need 30 gallons of water,



pic1: the tank is two years ago,

pic2: the tank is one years ago,

I like the puffers, slowly expanding the tank, but I made a mistake, bought a lot of puffers.



The Congo puffers no filtration,they share a filter with fahaka puffer.
The lights is ok ,just 2wall.

What is the temperature of the Congo's tank? How is it being filtered?

Fahakas are strong, powerful & determined fish. It would have no problem getting to those Congos to kill them when it wishes.
