Like what do u feed these guys every day, and what and how often do u give them the shell fish. Im just wating to get all my basses coverd before i get them home. now what im getting in to ...

thank u, i will get 2 GSP tuesday i think. They or small, about 2" and in freshwater at the fish store. I only have my brackish at 1.005 or so, so it sould not be a problem. What would be a good staple food for the GSP? im thinking shrimp and things or just a treet to keep there teeth in check ...

Ok, would 2 GSP go in a 75 gallon? Right now i have a few colombian sharks that im thinking of bring back to the fish store. Only thing that sucks is that i know that someone else will buy these fish and slap thim in a 10 gallon FW tank and wine "why did my fishes die?" Anyway, I just dont...

well,i just hung up with all LFS within 150 mills and non has or can get a fahaka. Guess ill stick to this GSP in my 55gal. I was wanting a dogface,but did not want to make my 135 into a saltwater. Casting a lot just for this 55gal. So,i was thinking the next best thing would be the Fahaka. Its just...

Man,i want a Fahaka,i guess the best thing to do is just wait it out and hope for one to cum up. I have never did mail order but looks like it will be my best shot. There is one place online that has one listed but is out of stock. Mabey oneday there have one. Thanks for all the help. Was kinda hopi...

yes i have,but i was wanting to know from someone who has had them, like the Dragon puffer. It said it was for a 30 gallon min. and im looking to put him in a 135. Would he be able to go in with mabey another puffer or something. Mabey a nice catfish/pleco/eartheater?

sorry,forgot to say i would be getting rid of the fish i have. Just waiting till i have something to replace them so i would be able to keep the tank sycled

I was looking into getting a fahaka puffer with no luck. i was wondering if there is anything else close to its size that i could get for my 135 gallon. Right now i have an Oscar,JD,a few tin foils,and a plec. in it and was looking for something different. I would not mine having a single fish in it...

oh wow, thats a long time...
I have an oscar and a few tin-foils, a JD in a 135 ant they or all fast growers. This will be a big change...
Thanks again for the help

The skimmer will come when it is full SW along with some live rock to seed the sand/dead rock. Once i get it up to a SG 1.010-15,i should hold it there til...
