Cool, thanks for taking the time to answer, I'm going to have a think about them, is there a time limit on getting them? I have the tank, just need substrate and planting, have mature media from other tanks so setup would be pretty fast.

Would the Tetraodon baileyi be ok for my tank? how old is this one? any chance (if i had one )of meeting halfway?

Cheers
JOHNNY

How old is he? can I ask why your getting rid of them?

Just out of interest, what size tank would the male and female suvattii need?

Cheers
JOHNNY

Nice looking fish, but wouldn't he be too big for my tank its only around 113ltr and recommended is 150ltr?7

How old is he?

Where in derbys are you?

What price you looking for him?

Can he go in a planted tank with wood and stone.

Regards
JOHNNY

To be honest I don't think that any of these puffers would be right for me, I was really looking for one that was more active, If you have any recomendations of which one that could be and to fit my tank, then please LMK

Ok so lazy was the wrong word to use, how active do they become when there in a happy and healty enviroment?

Hi We have seen a Pignose Puffer at our LFS, they seem very friendly, but don't seem to do alot in there tank at the shop, my question is do they become more active or at least interact with there owner? or are they just lazy? I was assuming they were placid because of the lacking of the LFS tanks? ...

So silk plants are ok, as is rock, slate caves, Could i put in bogwood/mopani wood? as long as it was replaced when needed?

Cool, I was hoping 2 could go, but nevermind, one is fine for me, I have an real passion for my fish, so water changes get done not matter waht.

What is the ideal set up for them?

I have black sand, ocean rock and slate to use. Can GSP be kept with live plants or is it silk only?

Cheers

When you say a GSP may be a bit tight. How tight? Would its mean upgrading the tanka few years down the line depending on how the GSP grows?? The GSP at our LFS are either 1.5" or 2.5" so they are still young. Are there any links to GSP biotopes? I was hoping to set one up, maybe? NEver ke...

Hi thanks for the reply, I didn't think I could have a GSP so a bit gutted! The tank has a built in trickle filter but also putting a eheim aqauball 2212 in as well, can fit a external on as it would mean ripping the top of the tank apart which is plastic, so thats a no go. Shame my LFS doesn't stoc...

Hi Have a spare tank, its 62x52x39cm(24x20x15inches) holds approx 113ltr(25 imp.gals or 30 US gal) Tank is fully cycled, I was thinking of some GSP which they have in my LFS, could I have 2 of these guys in there? If not I assume a pignose would be ok for it on its own, I know pignose is FW, no poin...
