Congo puffer,figure 8 or 55gallon tank dillema

Post by Marcink125 »

ok, so here the whole story. I have some money to spend and I have 4 figure eights in a 10 gallon which is sad, I know.please keep on reading. :stress: I want to know should I buy a 29 gallon retangular tank kit for my figure 8 puffers. O I really want a congo puffer and I wat to keep it in a 29 gallon tank. But I also wanted to buy a 55 gallon tank kit and make it a saltwater tank.. though I only have enough money for one of these choices. I have had these puffers for 8 months and I feel really bad for them, but I love them.
What should I do I'm torn. really I am.

Your first responsibility should be to the fish you already have. The 4 F8's would need at least 55 gallons to live happily.

You have four figure 8's in a ten gallon and you want to buy another tank and not put them in it? You should be ashamed. Poor puffers. I dont think I could admit that on these forums. Hang your head in shame. :redface:

I agree. Transplant what you do have, and decide on what you want to to with that 10 gal :D
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
