Re: ok Im confused, need advise

well I didnt mean to stir up a big to do.. I was just trying to learn as much as I can before I jump in to getting a new species I have never attempted before.

Re: Congo puffers

Hey.. do these have the same outgoing personality as the dwarf puffers? I ask because I wouldnt have to deal with having to give it live food... Could I keep one in a 20 gallon tank?

Re: ok Im confused, need advise

That's why I wanted to post here.. It just seemed to contradictory to what I had been reading. I know that even though the angels will be huge when they are full grown (compared to a dwarf puffer) the fins would still be a temptation. I was never considering adding a puffer to my 55.

ok Im confused, need advise

Re: Hi glad to be here

well the ironic thing here is MY kid (who is 18) would be thrilled to watch snails get eaten alive.. she's odd like that lol.

I even have to turn my head and not watch when hubby smacks spiders and stuff inside the house.. He's like Clint Eastwood or something with that slipper.. LOL

Re: Hi glad to be here

Thank you for the kind welcome. I have a 20 gallon tank that is currently empty. I found some really inquisitive dwarf puffers at our LPS and they caught my attention... I'm considering setting this up for the puffer. They are young and probably hard to discover gender for sure, so even though its b...
