Sorry but it is to early to say anything. They are know since 10h togehter in the thank. Normally it should be not a problem.

Since my F8s are moved to her new home i have one 28Gal (120Ltr.) tank free. This Project you can see on: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17303 I plan was to get the 6 Tiger Barb (puntius anchisporus) together with Malagar Puffers in this tank. The desing for the Tank was...

first the negative parts: The first plants get a lot of problem in the brackish water so that i put them in other tank without salt. Only the mangroves looks fine. No i will try it with Cryptocoryne ciliata - i hope that will work. :) Also i have some problems with the roods and the withe film on it...

Thanks for the compliments but i thing that the puffers look so nice, is not at least on the brackish Water. They change to more intensive colors :shock: , my first idea was that the reason is on the light. But now when the twilight cames the colors are the same. Better colors means that the fish fe...

Now it is done the puffers are now in her new home. The removal needs more than 3h. I was careful with the change form normal water to the brackish water. I start in the last 2 weeks to reduce the salt in the water of the Brackish tank. Also I regulate the temperature in both tank´s (origin and dest...

Caligula is only his name, his character is definitely not the same like Caligula from the Roman Empire. But i like him, and in the last half year he goes more and more a little bit brave. Not very much but he trust more in his small habitat. The picture of both a typical. Hatori swims always to clo...

This is Hatori he is very prying and snoopy 8) . He is always the first how find the snails or come out when i am in front of the tank.
