F8's natural environs?

Post by Steelgeek »

So wife and I are making the rounds of the pet stores, and she sees two f8s that were housed with a bunch of dwarfs, mostly because they were smaller(!) than the dwarves.

Well she falls in love with them, and next thing I know I'm setting up my 30g tank again.
I want to try to replicate their natural habitat, at least visually, since I'll be using fake plants.

BTW I'm not looking for basic care, I've been around puffs for a little while at least (check my joined date :P).

Any pics of tanks that anyone knows about? Or the area they live?

In the wild they are actually FW. To best stimulate there natural environment in a brackish tank, you might just want to use any plants that can tolerate low brackish water (java moss java fern... theres thread on BW plants)
