Re: info puffer fish
You can use RO for top up, because if you use tap water you are adding minerals & making the water harder. You really shouldn't have so much evaporation to really need to top up after only 1 week though.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Re: info puffer fish
I have "Hydor smart level control" for automatic top-up and I Don't know how many litres it top-up every week .
Then I use RO water for top-up.
And I use the tap water for weekly water changes.
It's right?!

Re: info puffer fish
Hi there.
I haven't yet found the fishes. Carinotetraodon travancoricus and colomesus asellus are very very very scarce .
An advice: the tooth in carinotetraodon travancoricus and colomesus asellus, grows at the same speed? How many?
I have a little tank with physa. Can I give pieces of shellfish, shrimps, prawn or crabs legs ?

Re: info puffer fish
Colomesus Asellus' teeth grow much faster. Their teeth will eventually need to be trimmed. The Carinotetraodon travancoricus' teeth will be fine with feeding them snails.

Re: info puffer fish
Even without snails, the travancoricus' teeth are rarely overgrown.

Re: info puffer fish
It shouldn't be a problem for your setup. However if its not broke don't fix it.

Re: info puffer fish
2 hours ago I put 10 carinotetraodon travancoricus.
The fishes is Very shy. I Don't see them.
Someone are still on the bottom.
Is it a normal behaviour?

Re: info puffer fish
2 hours ago is not long for settling in time.
I think you need all females or 1 male to 3-4 females to avoid issues. That's the general rule I believe,but I don't know of anyone that has 10 dp's

Re: info puffer fish
The seller don't say if it is a male or female because the fishes are too young. (My tank is 100x60x60cm)
You can look the tank at the top of this post.

Re: info puffer fish
Well--that's about as much decor as one can fit into a tank, isn't it?! Give them time.
