What is your real name? Do you know if you use Firefox or Google Chrome as your server that it will check words for spelling mistakes?

that site is not 100% correct.

Green spotted, Figure Eight and Ceylons need some marine salt. Each one needs a different level of salt to be happy.

They are sometimes sold as fresh water puffers but they do not do well in fresh water only.

J-P is correct just think of the information that the LFS gave you to begin with. That site is the same but a online Live Fish Store (LFS) wrong information to sell fish and make money bottom line.

I don't get it... you mom knows you suffer from some disability, yet she's forcing you to keep & care for an exotic species of fish that is not for beginners or even for regular fish keepers?

Wouldn't that set up someone to fail or have to deal with the loss of their fish?

Our complex, individual lives are much bigger than these little fish that we keep... :grouphug:

Have you checked this ad?
I know it is older but there is one tank in there that I think is a good price. The seller does not say his location but I am sure you can e-mail him. It seems there is a lot of stuff south of you, Capser and Cheyenne. Rapid City is probably closer.

NO!!

no not add the fish yet... a fast cycle = about 2 days, but a slow cycle = 1 months +

What size is the tank? We can do this step by step.
