as some of you know i'm fairly need to keeping fish.

at first i didn't understand the whole cycling and overstocking the tank.

i now know how to keep my water conditions good and how to properly feed my puffer.

i just bought a refractometer and it's way better than using a hydrometer.

here is a pic of my tank and my puffer and bumble bee goby.

Wonderful job of decorating! Be aware that you'll have to move all that nice decor around to stir up the substrate for cleaning. Your BBG will probably wind up being a puffersnack. How big is that tank?

[mikeKICKz]

29g

[puff_love]

ive been to all but goldfish world. I get my crayfish from pet kingdom, everything else from aquatic warehouse. Did you see their two puffers and how badly they are treating them at quatic warehouse.

thanks yunachin and stormyskiez. i'm using aragonite substrate.

yea i saw those two puffers in the jars at aquatic wherehouse, why are they isolated in there. i'm going there today to pick up sore ghost shrimp, so ill prolly take a picture.
