The Puffer Forum

this thread is 100% absolutely fantastic.

I'm off to buy the bits

maybe when Gasp joins the others, they will show him/her what is and isn't food

Show him/her a few small snails, i bet instinct will kick straight in

thanks, sounds good to me

what dechlor. do you use?

thanks for all the replies guys. My tank has nearly finished cyclin, so looking forward to moving in the first tenants

Thanks again Hilly :D I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to go for odd or even amounts. So 4 is a good number, and that would leave me space for some other fish? the puffers will be the first fish to enter the tank, well maybe a plec from my brother. would i be okay putting the 4 SAPs in the tank o...

Hi, What is a good number of SAP's for my 72 UK G tank?

2, 3 or 4?

I will be wanting to keep other fish with them too. maybe a school of tetra's?? a plec?

Thanks for the reply Hilly. I will have to give GSP's a miss for now. I know i cant afford to give them what they need. So it's between F8's and SAP's.

5 seems a good number!

How much would 5 F8 puffers eat? maybe i should be askin this now in the Brackish section?

I'm not sure if my bank account will stretch to a full marine set-up, hence the reason for me looking at others from GSP's.
F8's look quite nice though, would i only be able to have 2?

What kind of substrate and decoration do puffers like?

Hi All, just bought myself a 72 UK G Aquarium. But... i dont know what to put in it :? I really like GSP's and thought i could manage a Brackish set up, but after reading through the forum i have noticed that they eventually need a full saltwater set up. What extra cost/equipment is needed? An alter...
