The Puffer Forum

I think you'd end up with two dead fish.....and as far as I know snowflake eels are freshwater. sorry

The inhabitants: 1 Figure 8 puffer and 3 bumblebee gobies The tank: 15 gallons, albeit with lots of "interesting stuff" for Cofi (puffer) to explore Is this too small, honestly? I am considering upgrading but it'd be quite a cost....but if it would be essential for the puffer I'd do it. Ho...

OT but boxermom, I assume that is your boxer in your picture? What a handsome boy/pretty girl! (boy or girl ? ) I am a vet student and have a terrible soft spot for the so-called "bully breeds"

Not to mention they are spoiled food wise - all live enriched brine shrimp and black/bloodworms....that probably makes em happy. Have been trying to get them onto frozen but no success yet.

Thanks for the reassurance...I have kept, and still keep, dwarfs but this is my first semi-large puffer, as well as my first brackish tank. Today he took shrimp from my hand :lol: and has stopped pacing.... My substrate is an african cichlid mix comprised mostly of yep, you guess it - shells!! So he...

Finally have my new F8, after weeks of fishless cycling! He settled in quite nicely and ate straight away....however he is doing the obsessive pacing thing....he's only been in the tank a few hours but I was concerned if he was already bored with the tank! Its a 15 gallon (a tad on the small side I ...
