The Puffer Forum

We are moving in on Friday so as soon as I'm allowed, it will begin - I would think a couple of weeks.

OK, complete change of plan, or should I say tank dimensions as we've get the keys for a new house now and a 10ft tank will just not go. I do however have the opportunity to take out a large wall cupboard and replace it with a similarly volumed tank - 7(l) x 3(w) x 4(h). This tank will therefore see...

I did take some of the tank but there was too much light in the room - will get some when it is dark

At last - some photos of the puffer itself... http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7394 http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7387 http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_it...

Have asked the wife to get me some with her Digital SLR - mine are all too blurry. Just need her to remember now

I'll get a preference off him whether he would prefer a single or group.

OK just been having a trawl through the PufferPedia and the following would fit the tank: Auriglobus modestus - Bronze Puffer Carinotetraodon borneensis - Bornean red eye puffer Carinotetraodon irrubesco - Red Tailed Redeye Puffer Carinotetraodon salivator - Striped Redeye Puffer Carinotetraodon tra...

I've seen Figure of 8s, dwarfs and Fahakas in the LFS but I think we can pretty much get our hands on anything that isn't rare.

Having seen my Mbu ( this thread ), a friend of mine has decided to change his tropical freshwater setup and get a puffer (or puffers) and nothing else. Trouble is he only has (and has room for) a 100ltr tank - so an Mbu is out of the question yet the whole reason for this change is that he thinks t...

I'm really rubbish at tank pictures, despite having a good camera - I'll see what I can do.

OK, 2nd stage in - (s)he went into a 700ltr yesterday with an Eheim 2329 and an Eheim 2128 running on it. Eating well (prawns and mussels), not showing interest in cockles with shell yet. The new tank has a common sand substrate whereas the last one has black sand - today all seems fine but the colo...

I agree and it is now part of the plan.

The tank will be built into a breeze block wall (so it is flush on one side and sticks out into the back room for maintenance) and base so apart from strategic support of the base, the configuration is up to me - I could built in a couple of 4 x 2 x 2 sumps without changing my planned build.

Cheers, I have joined and will check it out.

I guess I'll have to get it in place and see. Have been looking at the FX5s too and (although ugly) may give a few of these a go on something else to see how they work - their filtration rates are certainly better and I need to check out how the automatic water changes facility works (mine is separa...
