The Puffer Forum

Did you try pond snails?
How didyou try to breed them?

oops it's 6' not 3' indeed

I'll have to borrow a decent digicam for some better pics

yes, 20" is the width

In fact it's 180x50x70 in cm

The tank is +- 3' x 20" x 27"
So not ideal in the long term, but it should do for quite a while I guess.

Thanks. That's great news.
I hope it grows fast... it's a bit silly to have 1 tiny fish in a 160g tank

oops, I was so excited I put it in the wrong forum.... please move

EDIT: Done, no problem!

I bought a small puffer fish that was labeled as a fahaka. But I'm not too sure if it's really a tetraodon lineatus. It's still very small (bit more than 1 inch). Is it normal that it doesn't have any stripes yet? I tried to grab a few pics, but my camera really really really sucks. http://users.tel...

Ok thanks.
So 1-2mm gravel it will be then!

I know that a small fahaka likes to burry itself in the sand. On the other hand, these fish grow very quick so the advise is to put them in a large tank even when small. But sand in a large tank is a pain to maintain. So the question is: is it necessary for a small fahaka to have a sand substrate? I...

you could try hornwort

There will be no cycle

I don't think you even need to transfer the water as there are no bacteria floating in the water

isn't the swimming up and down a sign of boredom?

ok!
thx for the confirmation

I went to the pharmacy today to get some clove oil. For the moment I don't need it, but I figured I might need it some day.

I just wanted to check that I got the right thing.

It reads on the package:

Essential oil, 100% natural
Eugenia caryophyllata
flower buds, eugenol, eugenyl acetate

Hmm, I mean for life, not just a temporary housing for a small fahaka
