That is great news It must be an exciting tank with a small colony of them now!

I'm having a think whether to introduce more to the 200 litre, my two seemed to have settled for now

@Pufferpunk - many thanks. I've seen a 100 litre cuboid tank that should be adequate for one with turning room?

Went to our epic LFS who had 5 Palembang puffs. First time ever seen them in the flesh and they were a healthy healthy size, one in particular loved. Understand lurkers and had a congo in the past.

Husband speaking to water quality board as we speak.

Hi pufferpunk - thanks for that

They've settled in well now and this weekend went and got a ton of live plants and more bogwood to add more interest to the tank which think should help

@PUFFWHO - thank you for that, glad to hear yours are getting along great :) Now I've had mine for a couple of weeks, they have really settled in, eating well. Tong and spot feeding has lessened the squabbles and they do a bit of chasing but only off "their spot". This weekend I gained a t...

Sorry not replied sooner our boiler blew up over the weekend so having to deal with this immediate issue. I've ordered a different nitrate kit to see if tests same out of the tap as had issues with the nitrate kit in this API one. If still same of course will report
