Re: My new Figure 8

Thanks, I have that link bookmarked, but will read it again in case I missed something. Temperature in his tank is now heading towards 86F, I changed 20% water yesterday, and 50% today, and can easily do 50% tomorrow and Wednesday.

Hopefully in a few days I can post a new picture of him ich free.

Re: My new Figure 8

You bought him sick? Yes, he was the only one anywhere local, and with how active he was, and how straight forward ich is to treat, I was not worried.

Is there any chance of using a 40-long instead? that would offer a lot more space for three fish. That 4-foot footprint makes a huge difference o...

F8's in a 29G

I am planning to empty out my 29G and convert it to brackish in order to keep Figure 8 puffers. However, I am having a hard time finding any consistency with how many I can keep in a 29G. Would 3 be OK to keep in there long term? as long as the tank is decorated enough to allow them territory, hidin...
