They swam in circles all day long. She was getting evicted & gave them to me. For a day after adding them to my 125g, they still swam in the corner in a tight circle. I'm happy they spent their last 3 years in a much larger tank they could actually swim in & explore. Like I said--Filbert is a one of a kind fahaka.puffer an knife

Re: puffer an knife
I got those from a woman who had them for 17 years, living in a 30g. They swam in circles all day long. She was getting evicted & gave them to me. For a day after adding them to my 125g, they still swam in the corner in a tight circle. I'm happy they spent their last 3 years in a much larger tank they could actually swim in & explore. Like I said--Filbert is a one of a kind fahaka.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

Re: puffer an knife
He nipped each of their tail when 1st introduced (welcoming nip?) but has never bothered it since then. I lost the 1st BGK & the old elephants when I accidentally refilled the tank with cold water after a WC.

Re: puffer an knife
About 6 months. I'm moving him back to the other tank though. He only eats live blackworms & I'm not feeding it enough to the tank he's in now.
