I am considering converting my reef 29 into a GSP tank (1 puff) can I keep the same live rock? Will it kill all the inverts? (I figure this is a yes?) any allowable tank mates? (specifically, I wouldn't mind some form of cleaning crew no matter how small) soft corals, would it destroy them? do I nee...

OK, I simply put iwth my current class schedule do not have the time for my full reef tank, in fact, the tank is crashing because I cannot spend the proper time on it, i.e. at least half an hour every day. I am thinking about a GSP. This is a 29 gallon tank with full reed equipment, high lighting, s...

thats about what I figured...I wish I had thought of a fahaka before I started stocking the tank a month ago. :/ Beautiful puffers, would not have minding my big tank beinga one fish only tank for one of them.

While I know that it is unlikely that a medium sized fahaka will tolerate tankmates, would a young (4in or less) deal with tankmates that are his size or larger, at least until he matures?

Yeah, knowing where to get them in Cali helps me out none at all. Anyone know some online sights that I could order them through? I still havent decided for sure though which puff speies I want, this one, or 1 or 3 DPs

ok, are they ok with a planted tank? Are they ok with crushed argonite sand? (would mean a high pH, only slightly countered with the tannins released from the driftwood) Are MTSs a big no-no? And how readily available are they? I have never seen one for sale anywhere, and dont know where to get one....

OK, on the puff listed, can they have any types of tankmates? I am thinking something along the lines of a bristlenose pleco, or cory cats and or kuhli loaches

Hey all.

I have an empty 10 gallon tank.
I have had DPs before, liked em, I was wondering if they are the only option for a 10 gallon tank though?

Feeding snails is not a problem, but I dont care to be trimming teeth like with a SAP.

Thanks, JArred

well, the puff I have now has never been to interactive with me, the angels in hte other tnak are more so. and the new angels after only 2 weeks are more interactive than he has ever been. I dont mind having only one fish in a tank, I would just prefer that it was a fish bigger than one inch in a 5 ...

ha ha neons. :/ I don't do well with the- normal community fish. It took me a while to get the angels, only reason I did is that I needed something that would grow to a medium size, and be slightly aggressive so as to not be out-competed for food by their tank mates (Bichir Senegalus and African But...

I have had otos with my DPs for 2 months, angels for a few weeks, and shrimp for a few months. why would I like to have tankmates? perhaps because even though I like this fish, 1 inch fish in a 5 gallon tank makes it way to empty. a 2.5 inch fish, alone, in a 10 gallon, makes it way to empty. on top...

ok, are there any small puffers that can have a tankmate? would be for a 10 gallon, I am wanting to get 2 blue rams I also have three tiny angels, but can move them to the five for right now (I mean TINY, less than 1/2 inch)

ok, thanks rocker.

BTW, I have been keeping shrimp with my DPs since I got them, right now there are about 20 shrimp in his 10 gallon tank, been in tehre for 2-3 months now

ok, I forgot to mention, DPs are out of the quistion, I cannot stick only 2 into a5 gallon, and 1 is just does not fill out the tank enough, (I have one right now, and I can never see him he is just too small for that much water) pufferlist.net says that both red-eyes and red-tails can go in a 5, I ...

OK, I have a 5 gallon tank I am setting up right now. it will be lightly planted with some moderate decorations, sand bottom. I have a booming snail population in my other tanks, so snails are no problem. OK what puffers can go in here? I am thinking dwarf, red-eye, or red-tail? anything else? the l...
