Re: Choosing a tank for a figure 8.

I really like how the tank looks, and I also like the fact that its an AIO. Im also planning to scape the tank so I want it to look good :)

Re: Choosing a tank for a figure 8.

At this point ive pretty much ruled out the peninsula seeing as I really really dont want to pay 100 for a simple lid. However, to make up for the lost footprint, Ill probably end up getting the 20gal jbj. Its still 16x16 but its 4 inches taller.

Re: Getting a new figure 8, need some advice

Yuck. Imagine the ammonia from dumping a bottle full of dead bodies in to your tank. Quick question: How do I dump this nitrifying bacteria in to my filter when its an internal filter and is very difficult to take apart? I do have these 2 huge porous rocks in my tank, which I picked up by the ocean ...

Getting a new figure 8, need some advice

So almost a year ago, I used to have a figure 8 pufferfish. I only had him for a few months or so before he jumped through this tiny hole next to the filter and died. The figure 8 had 2 guppies as tank mates, and I assumed that would be ok since he was only a 1 inch long baby. He was healthy and eat...

Figure 8 Pufferfish questions.

This is my first ever fish tank, so I am a newbie. I recently acquired a figure 8 pufferfish. His patterns are not the normal figure 8 puffer patterns, and I am 100% sure he is a figure 8, not a GCP or ceylon.

Re: Help with Figure 8 pufferfish

I'm still a little bit worried about the pink spot on his nose, I also noticed 2 black dots under his chin.
