Ok so new plan, 2 new sets up's but i'll do anything to make my babies happy and healthy! Any advice on if the figure 8 will be ok alone or should i get him some friends?

You should only have to feed him once per day only until his belly is slightly rounded. Watch his poops, they should be round blobs, not stringy like other fish.

I have heard a lot about not mixing puffers and decided to go for a tank just for my porcupine, i have a list of everything i nee...

Hello, I have a brackish set up which houses gsp's with a general filter and heater. I'm looking to change them over to a marine set up with a baby porcupine puffer, i will be giving the tank lots of time to mature with just my gsp's, but as im going to be starting it from scratch as sorts, i would ...
