Nope he was definately the "bad boy" of the tank lol

Today I managed to get to a fantastic store out to the outskirts of my county (don't drive, wonderful parents took me). I walked in and it was..HEAVEN! Amazing tanks for all the fish, no over crowding. They had a beautiful Porc, Valentini and another SW puffer in a tank with a fuzzy lion (tank was h...

awwww how cute! congrats on your babies and hope the new tank cycles quickly for them!

I went back to the place quite local to me to have a look again, this was were I first met the puffers and had brief chat with the guy in there and will most definately not buy from them....I had phoned during the week to ask what the species were (thought they only had one at the time) I asked abou...

Poor things! That sounds just so horrible, how could anyone do that..I guess most stores are like this?

how have others got on with two in this size tank? what sort of upgrade tank do you need to get later?

Bumblebee gobies I see keep mentioned what are the like temperament wise, how many also?

Thank you everyone for being patient with my questions

Wow! 23! That must be an amazing sight to see in all their tanks!

Wow Woland that tatoos amazing!! Hi Pufferpunk, I have been reading most of the Puffpedia library (know which sections are which by now!). With thing like how many to put into a tank I just like checking as by reading a lot of the forum posts, more space than the stated requirement seems to be the b...

Thanks Woland I am getting great advice, my heart is tearing me between F8 and SAP...

Right.. my first finalish decision is.. F8! (Till tomorrow probably). I will look into brackish more and go from there. Thanks again Woland for your experiences and advice.

I did think as much, lastly what about valentini's (forgive spelling) one for the 110 liter. I am looking for relatively easy setup/up keep and not overly expensive. Slightly worried with the brackish and salt conditions :? as I am beginner. I thought freshwater would be easier set up, but if it is ...

The tank size I am currently looking into and set on is 110 litres.. the two species looking at the most is F8's and SAP's, possibly dwarves. Other species have been recommended to me and looking into them, but these are the main ones considering, assume with F8's and SAP's prbably best for one in t...

So now looking at tanks, if it is 15 gallon is minimum for first size tank, what is the best 'maximum' sized tank? (I know the biggest you can afford the better) but what technically is the best adequate for full grown Figure of 8?

DOH! I meant F8 (Figure Eight) Still getting used to the lingo

After ringing the store they have informed me that they are M8's and do not order any others in. still think I will go to the store itself and check as have heard that they get the species wrong a lot of the time

ah I didnt explain properly!! LOL. My partner would have a separate tank with a lionfish and some other smaller colony fish! No I wouldnt dream of putting the two together as I really wouldnt want either to get hurt. I think I need to be off to the store Friday to investigate further and see what th...
