Keeping them occupied
Keeping them occupied
What can I do to keep my 2 GSPs entertained? They pace a lot, even though the tank is heavily planted. Its a 20 gallon, and theyre both under 2 inches (will upgrade to a large marine tank). They dont pay attention to laser pointers, even though my friends old GSP did. Can someone suggest some certain decor that their puffers like? Isnt there some sort of bubble thing that puffers enjoy playing in?

I use plastic "elbow" and "s" pipes which they love swimming through. I think I read before PP mentioned she used habitrail before.
