oops!!!

Post by babspuffer »

was watching my husband fiddling with my new 27litre tank for dwarf puffers and forgot i was topping up mac's tank!! Until i heard the water cascade over the top of the tank!!AArg!! never mind my husband says your not a proper fish keeper if you haven't flooded the house at least once!! So that said how many dwarf puffers should i keep in this mini tank? I was thinking 2, hubby says 3. if 2 does it matter what sex they are?

Yes, try for 2 females. Definately not 2 males! I can't tell you how many times I've flooded my tanks.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

If you get them small there shouldn't be too many problems throughout there life though. If they're older def. aim for 1m 1f or 2f.
Yeah I've flooded quite a few of my tanks too.

My house gets flooded all the time. We have our own R/O unit and we always forget that we turn the water on until it spills all over the floor. :shock:
