What should I do with my 30 gallon?

Where's the option for 'no new puffers and just to keep the ones you have'? That's the option I'm choosing.

If you really want more puffers, get more DPs, and move Bullet and Bug in there with them.

Ha ha Schismy.

True. Then what should I do with the 10 gallon? Move Quinn to that? Then what do I do with the 5 gallon?

Keep the 5g as a spare.

(To Schismy007)

Here's what I'm thinking now. Keep Quinn in the 5 gallon. For the 10 gallon get some live plants and a better lamp and see what plants I can grow, breed MTS's, ramhorns, and cherry shrimp in the it too, and have a couple white clouds or something to fill in the space. And for the 30 gallon, how many more do you think I should get? Just 3 more females? Or maybe 3 females and 1 male??

Something else to think about Lil' Swimz$ -- I've been getting more interested in these little aquatic crabs that are popping up more and more at the LFS's. I've got 2 small ones in one tank and 2 much bigger Rainbow Land crabs in the other. They are alot of fun to watch and really are quite entertaining. You might give some thought about getting some of those. They don't require much in the way of tank space, just need the basics, small filter, and a heater, something to climb out of the water on, and that's it. Do some research and see what your local LFS's have, you might be pleasantly surprised!

I got interested and starting looking around myself. I would love a paludarium one day. I might make one with a shallow SW section for my hermit crabs... These rainbows are cute!

Edit - found a neat article. It sounds like if you want crabs, you may do better putting them in the 30g. They get big.

Yep, those are the ones I have, and my male is quite big already. But they are most interesting and are mesmerizing, I love watching them, especially at meal time!

Yah, they sound cool. I'd love a salamnder or an axolotl, but I can never find a salamnder and I bet axolotl are alot!!

Why won't you let me get another species of puffer?

Incase any of you didn't know what an axolotl is.

yep aquatic crabs are a really cool and interesting pet 2 keep i think

great to watch, expecially if u manage 2 see them shedding their shells!! but if u do go for crabs, remember to make sure there is no gaps in the lid. the last crab i had (wally
