try atleast a 55 gallon if you want to venture but youre not saving any money

you can find a lot of information on youtube on breeding marbled cray... true marbled cray just keep cloning themselves....you need a lot of hiding and a fairly large tank exclusively for them.its not worth it for me to breed em and go through all that trouble. better off and cheaper off buying poun...

very nice, I found a used sump for 40$ at my lfs I was tempted to buy... I don't know much about sumps though so It could have been missing the most obvious thing.

Weve gone many generations as Humans eating cooked food (mostly)... try taking a bite outta a freshly killed chicken ....

don't feed puffers cooked food.

http://yamatogreen.com/ ..... they carry good products. Use a good light, I forget if its 2 watts per gallon or 1.... it might even say on the yamato website, it has a lot of great info in itself. Remember to remove leaves or broken off plant parts, it rots and its just not something you want in you...

Is he stuck on the filter or chillin next to it?

omg I want those tubes now!!!!! and yes you gotta a lurker... they just chill and wait for the kill. its what he does best, stays outta sight until its time to kill.... yep sounds good to me.

Hello, welcome to TPF!!! congrats on your hobby, its very addicting especially these puffers...they have their own personalities and are very rewarding to see them grow. careful though, try not to bite more than you can chew, Puffers are very high maintenance, and seeing one die is very sad. It migh...

I don't support the bare bottom tank practice its depressing and counter productive. I also believe that a fish needs mental stimulation on top of physical to be happy and healthy.


Edit^ My puffer is very happy, don't judge him by the look on his murderous face.

I had my Fahaka with a Rainbow shark for almost a year until he ate him when I was moving houses.... Turns out the only thing that made them great partners was that he was fast and he called home a small hole in some décor that the fahaka could not even get into. I should have taken the shark out fi...

+1 to bertie's comments above. Most water pumps can be divided into "flow" pumps and "lift" or "head" pumps. IME, when you want computer or timer-controlled pumps, you are better off with higher quality pumps. +1 and to Bertie... I use 2 hydor pumps with the smartwave ...

Im down

Geez this person is selling TWO if I am seeing the photos correctly! http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/for/3930162052.html Ummm No I am not.. LOL Dexter the big guy in the 75 gallon is getting a 200gallon tank this weekend. The little guy will probably go to a 55 for the time being or if we can rig ...
