The Puffer Forum

Do yall think its a good idea to plant the tank and put in some cheap tetra's or something like that(cheapest non goldfish at the fish store) to quicken the cycle. Then once cycled just let the congo eat the tetra's as dinner?

So what do you do for clean up crew?

Is yours happy with a rock bottom?

haha thats a cool picture

Thanks for all the info, I think i have my plan now. 1 congo and a couple of ottos, maybe some corys. Now to get the tank up and going. Use the plants and corys to cycle it. Have to say so far I love this form, TONS of info and nice people that respond quick to questions im sure most of yall think a...

Would cory's be a good bottom feeder with a congo? or would yall suggest something else. What about a group of Otto's for algae?

Kinda disappointed, was hoping for one large puffer instead a ton of small ones

Ya after reading that I really wish I had the money and room for a 120+G tank. But I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment and dont have the room.

Seems to me my only option is DP's. Though I would rather have a large species, Ill get what I can. How many can fit in a 55 peacefully?

Im in the process of getting a 55 gallon tank up and running. Still have to do everything but I have already decided I want to make it for a puffer/s. Im wondering what would be a good canidate for a pure freshwater puffer that will live in the 55 all the way through adult hood. Would before to have...
