Dwarf Puffer IPs?

Hi everyone, 3 days ago I FINALLY got my first fish.. two dwarf puffers. I have them in a heavily planted 10 gallon tank. I bought them from my LFS (owned by my friend actually) and I had done a ton of research and knew that wild caught ones were very prone to IPs. However, it didn't occur to me unt...

DP Snail Population?

Hi everyone, I have a 10 gal currently cycling. Once the cycle completes, I want to add a bunch of snails and leave them for a few days to get a good population going before adding my pea puffer.

Dwarf Puffer Lighting/Subtrate?

Hi all, I have a 10 gallon tank that I have set up for 2 dwarf puffers (tank is currently cycling). I got the Marina LED 10 gallon kit and it only has one daytime light, it's not super bright but it is bright. I also went with fake plants and white small-rock gravel. Will any of this be problematic ...
