LOL well I first have to make sure my roommate wont kill me. We had to relocate some stuff to properly accommodate the two 55's I already have setup here.

I thought with fancies it was 10 gallons per fish and 30 gallons for Commons and Koi? I had always done it that way with no huge problems but I never exceeded 3-4 fish. Well either way I have been looking at and seriously considering a 155 gallon complete setup for $400 on Craigslist. It is 48"...

And I thought $10.99 was too much for a lone scrawny 1.5" figure 8 that I saw in the LFS.

Nice puffer video! And yeah Avery Brooks totally made an epic narrator! Loved DS9

There are 5 fancies all less than 3 inches right now. I also have 4 Emerald Corys, 3 Rosy Red Minnows, and a Pleco from the previous owner. As I stated above I have 3 filtration systems running in this tank along with some live plants. This is the tank: (sorry for the quality as some of these pics I...

From my experience and research they usually only go for plants that are already dead or dying/rotting.

As for your DP's you will have to wait for someone with experience with them to tell you. I am fairly new to the puffer world myself.

Here is my goldfish aquarium that has been running for a while stocked with a few young fancy goldfish. It is another 55 gallon aquarium with a beautiful wood trim and stand. There are two Penguin 330 power filters running with two UG filter powerheads for maximum filtration that brings ultra clean ...

Oh yes I just found this eBay user today! Looks like a great selection of plants and food supplies!

Puffer owners should definitely check out his snail specials!

Check this thread here: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29681 I posted a link there from eBay where you can literally get a hundred or so Ramshorn snails for $20 if you decide to go that route. That should definitely get you started. Variety is good as long as you avoid t...

Speaking of Red Tailed Catfish

You better be prepared to have a nice big pond!

I will. And my puffers are looking and acting great and the water quality is perfect and crystal clear. They were starting to cautiously greet me at the glass and I got them to eat out of my hand with a whole piece of uncooked shrimp tonight! These guys are little piranhas! They nearly tore the shri...

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere but can anyone compile together any good online aquarium fish and supply stores that they would recommend? In particular, I would like to get more FW/BW puffers in the future and I noticed that most of the LFS either don't carry puffers or only carry a...

In other words, you need to get them NOW, otherwise they'll outlive you :lol: LOL <3 I love it! I keep seeing a black moor at petsmart, and I love him and his personality...no more tanks though = / /sigh. One day soon... I know what you mean, I was browsing around at Petsmart today looking at some ...

I have been having problems getting good food snails for my puffers as the aquarium stores around here are all loaded with nothing but MT Snails which I read are bad for the puffers so I will have to go to the local rivers and ponds to get some snails when the weather warms up. However, I did just g...

Thanks for the input as I tried to make the tank as welcoming for them as possible. Sadly the little runt passed away before he could fully benefit from treatments. I guess the transfer and isolation stressed him too much or he was already too far gone. The other two seem to be doing great and have ...
