That's great! And the extra 20g left over after 30g each should cut back on aggression, since they'll each have nice big terratories. Make sure that there's lots of broken lines of sight and hidey-holes on both ends, and that should help, too. Dritwood + plants + caves = happy puffers!

Uh-uh. What's wrong with it?

Try craigslist.com.

it just didnt have a lid which is important to me. I checked out craigs list but it didnt look like too many people use it in my area. There was a 75 gallon that was still running and came with 2 filters for $50 but its an hour drive away and it would suck to drive that far to figure out something is wrong with the tank.

Oh, well, you can order one, or get one from the LFS. I wouldn't buy a whole new tank just because it doesn't have a lid.

so i finally got a 55g tank today, but its not ready to go up just yet, i need to make a stand and get a filter and heater for it still. I estimate it should be ready to start up in 2 weeks.
On an unrelated note, i have 3 ghost shrimp and 7 baby guppies in the tank with my puffers but they havent touched them. Is this because i feed them everyday? If i didnt feed them would they be more likely to go for the live food in the tank or is there a chance they will starve?
