The Puffer Forum

I hadn't even thought about the chance of them breeding! I'll keep you informed and attempt some pics!

I've ordered 3 Orange Chromides, I was advised to get 2 females and 1 male to reduce aggression. I'll see how that goes for now, may add something else later. Thanks for all the help!

The tank is brakish, around 120 gallons the F8's are around 2" long.

I have a well planted 450 litre tank which has 3 young f8's and 10 BBG's. I'd like to add more but don't want to cause problems. What do you advise?

How many BBGs should I put in my 450 litre tank with my 3 F8s? The tank is well planted with rocks and bogwood.

I'm loathed to part with either! My reason for keeping the F8s is at least I can have some BBGs in there too, 450 litre tank with 3 fish in seems excessive!

A few months ago I changed my fw community tank for a brakish puffer tank. I was advised that my 80 litres would be fine for 3 GSPs and 3 F8s. I've read lots on this site and realise how wrong that is! I'm currently cycling (fishless) a new 450 litre tank for the Puffers. They show no signs of aggre...

I have room for a 5' tank, what kind of filter should I use? Any advice welcome!

The tank has been cycled. I'll have to start looking for a larger tank, I really don't want to return them!

I haven't owned puffers before...I have just got 3 small (approx 1.5") GSPs for my 30 gallon brakish tank, they have no other tank mates. When I bought them, I was told that this was fine for my tank, also suggesting adding 3 F8s. After having read some posts I'm now concerned my tank is too sm...
