(Taken with a mobile phone, but still..) I decided to build my own bench for the new tank and here's some pict...

Re: Planning a new tank!

Finally an update!

I decided to go all out so I ordered a 900l (just under 240 gallons) tank that should be arriving next week I hope.
The measurements are 200x75x60 (about 6.56 feet long, ~2.5 feet wide and 2 feet tall).

Will post some pics when it gets here. :D

Re: Planning a new tank!

The dimension looks rather interesting! Footprint might look great but do consider that when u do a 50% wc, theres not much water left in there (height).. Mine gets jumpy when it freaks out that the water is getting too low.. I didn't even think of that, oddly enough! Hehe. I prefer doing several s...

Re: Planning a new tank!

I gotta get me some dps! :D They seem adoreable!

I found another plausible tank with the measurements 200cmX70cmX35cm (that's 80inc 28inc 14inc for you hadla ;) )
Would this be any good or will he be sorta cramped in such a shallow tank?

Re: Planning a new tank!

Thanks for the replies! Hadla, I'll be sure to use feet/inches and gallons from now on. ;) Bertie, Yeah the length I what bothers me with this tank as well. I would love to have my fahaka swimming in a 6'-7' tank but I haven't got the room for one. The longest tank I would be able to fit in my apart...

Planning a new tank!

Hey there! I'm getting my Fahaka puffer a new tank and I found a rather cheap 750L tank, with the measurements 1mX1mX75cm (LxDxH). Would that be sufficent for an adult fahaka? I would personally prefer a tank that's somewhat longer but then again, this tank has a pretty wicked footprint so there sho...

Re: What's your puffer's name?

My Fahaka is named Figaro, but I call him "Figge" for short. (guess where my forum nick came from? :D)

Also have a Figure 8 named Otto!

Re: Carinotetraodon irrubesco, Borneo Biotope

Hey there!

I can't really help you with the location on where the puffers of Borneo are found other than that I've heard they live in heavily planted streams, swamps and other watergatherings.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures for your trip!

Have a good one!
