Re: MEET MY FRIENDS!!
Nice look, and cute fish. The java fern planted in the substrate will likely die unfortunately, it usually dies if it's root mass is not on a surface it can climb, due to water flow restriction.

Re: MEET MY FRIENDS!!
If enough water flow gets over the root it may live, I've had some die and some not when I've tried it.

Re: MEET MY FRIENDS!!
I bought the plants at fish-etc.com which the guy was extremely helpful. They have varity of plants and the owner told me the same thing but is not the roots is the rhizome that needs to be in the surface.

Re: SAY HARO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!
unfortunately yes..i turned my other 10 gal into quarantine tank and i have 1 more 5 gal but is for the betta. I have to figure out my next scenario. Most importnat things is to please my girlfreind so she wont be upset with another new tank in the house. The SAP and DP get along really really well but Irrubesco doesnt like the SAP because i tryed to put him in the 30 gal and my Irrubesco attcked him within mins(only the male). So i cant put him in there.

Re: SAY HARO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!
Are the DPs okay with the SAP? I mean, I've never tried two types of puffers together.

Re: SAY HARO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!
Well you have to look at the species behavior and you also have to look at indiviual behavior. Even tho if one species are peaceful but some can be more agressive then the other. Im lucky that thE SAP and DP get along. They dont mind each other at all.

Re: SAY HARO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!
Yeah, of course. But it's only temporary, so it should be fine.
