The Puffer Forum

What puffer species is that?

My very blurry Figure 8.

So we are almost a year after setting up the new tank and I've just got some tank mates for my puffer. I researched lots of fish and decided that I would get some Humpback Limias and an Orange Chromide. I asked 2 of the local fish shops and another not so local fish shop to order them in for me and even with plenty of chasing none of them could get them in. I asked about Knight Gobies but still no joy.

My other half has been on at me for a while now to put something else in the tank so I relented at the weekend and in the absence of any other compatible fish we got a group of Silver Mollies and a group of orange and black Mollies. Because of my fish snobbery I was a bit disappointed about getting the Mollies but I've got to say that the Silver Mollies are stunning fish and their constant activity meant that I couldn't keep my eyes off the tank last night.

It's early days yet but there hasn't been any aggression and all fish were present and correct this morning so fingers crossed that it will be a happy and active tank for many more years to come.

Nice, tried mollies in my reef but my wrasse loves the taste of them. Only 1 large boring coloured male survived. Might try more might not. Looking forward to pics

Since moving to SC, I have all my cool fish shipped to me. Try Wet Spot.

I'm in the UK. I have tried mail order in the past but the fish I ordered turned up dead. That plus the only mail order 'shop' that I could find any of the species for sale was an ebay seller I decided not to chance it.

I'll try to get a couple of pics up soon.
