It's honestly fairly compact, you can see it in the second picture suctioned to the back of the tank next to the Amazon sword. I have it placed on the very bottom of the tank to help with circulation (and of course added filteration). Amazon has the dimensions listed as 1.5" x 2.8" x 5.4&q...

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to when everything starts to fill out :) - I was most definitely going to start with only one especially since this is a new set up so I don't want to over load anything. I'm hoping having the additional internal 10 gallon filter will help keep my water chemist...

I've just started to get back into the puffer game - I took a long hiatus after the pet sitter killed my figure 8 puffers :'( - and while I've owned dwarf puffers before, my new setup will be species only and I want it/ them to be pampered to the fullest extent!

because it is temporary. this is not their final home. as ive said twice before. and I wanted to buy them as juveniles so that they would get along better. they tend to fight more with greater age differences especially if one is older and has been alone for a few months. in addition I dont apprecia...

Like I said the tank is only temporary, I live in a dorm right now and don't have the space for anything larger right now, but as soon as I move into my apartment in August I will be getting a 55 or larger. This is the highest I have seen my nitrates, and I suspect its because I have been having iss...

I have 2 figure 8 puffers, I have had one for about 2 1/2 months and the other for about 2 months. They are in a heavily planted 10 gallon aquarium, just until I get my 55 gallon in August (they love each other, always swim together and never fight except for a little attitude/ nippiness during feed...
