hey all,

My name is Phill, I've been lurking on this site for a couple weeks now, mostly reading through articles and forums posts.

Anyhow, I recently upgraded my 35G brackish to a 100G tank. It's been allot of work setting up and maintaining but it's now fully cycled and stocked with fish.

2 Figure 8 puffers (JWhoop and MJ)
2 red clawed crabs (Timmey and Cartman)
3 tiger barbs (Larry, Curly, Moe)
XX sword tails
XX mollies
4 bumblebee gobbies (Ron, Don, Rob and Bob)
1 hillstream (Jacques)

Looks great. Is it set up freshwater or brackish?

Is that F8 going after a MTS (Malaysian trumpet snail). If so, those snails are too hard for them to eat safely.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

Welcome

those crabs may become F8 food

yup it's a brackish tank, 1.004 salinity
I normally crush those snails so they can eat them :)
As for the crabs, so far the puffers have left them alone
