Meet Luigi!

Post by crazedpuffer »

Hey guys, used to be a mod here a long time ago. I had a porcupine puffer Shelby who died about 2 years ago. I just set up a Fluval Spec 5 planted tank for a pea puffer check him out!

And I have no clue why some of these are uploading sideways

Wow I love this setup! How long did the shrimp last? Or did they make friends...Did you use the filter that comes with the fluval?(read a few reviews that it wasn't very strong, but I know most of their filters are tops) Also curious about the lighting? I had originally looked at the same line, but still haven't decided to purchase yet. Also curious about the substrate etc. Sorry for bombarding you with questions your first time back on the forum. I'm brand new and hope my questions/etiquette is ok on this post. I've been checking out the forum for awhile and finally decided to join. I didn't plan to jump in any conversations but couldn't resist when I saw your little Luigi, and his snazzy home :) thanks Mary
Also big thanks to pufferpunk and the crew for such a great resource! This forum, and the moderators are so thoughtful, practical, and logical in their knowledge shared. It shows that they have beautiful hearts as well.

😁 Good to know@hadla! I know the shrimp are lower on the food chain but I've seen so many mixed opinions on housing them together. I would love to have it work out, but I'm prepared, ok might shed a tear or two😏, if it doesn't. Thanks to all
