Great site! Newbie here!
Hello! I ran across this forum while researching Dwarf Puffers, so I decided to join! I currently have a 20 gallon long Freshwater tank with 6 Kuhli Loaches and 3 Mystery snails. It has been running for about 6 months (minus the month to fish less cycle). Recently my snails started mating and laying clutches. I also have a 40 gallon breeder with bunches of baby snails. Started a fish less cycle on an empty 10 gallon a few days ago, but after Dwarf Puffers caught my eye, I'm sold lol. I've been reading as much as I can on here because it is chock full of accurate info! I hope to get to know all of you, and share my experience when the proper time comes!

Re: Great site! Newbie here!
Oh, I've found the library 
. I can't stop reading the articles. Even though some don't contain information that I need, I love reading about it. Aquariums are so fascinating! Definitely packed to the brim with information, and I'm not complaining .

Re: Great site! Newbie here!
To be completely honest, I think all of my questions have been answered really. Between articles, and forum posts, I can't think of a single question lol. What I meant by "doesn't contain information I need" I meant that the articles were about different puffers that I'm not interested in, like saltwater and brackish lol.

Re: Great site! Newbie here!
Thanks for the welcome guys! Pufferjw: Not at the moment. It's being used for a grow out tank for my baby mystery snails. Some will be sold to other aquarists, others will be "re-purposed" for my future dwarf puffer lol. I can't count all of them, but I'd estimate around 60 of them. With more clutches in the incubator
