no small potsJ-P wrote:you are in a similar boat I was in. I have several tubes of silicone and could easily send one, BUT it is such a small project it is not worth opening an entire tube.
Do you have a small clay pot that you can use as a cave? You know the brown terracotta type the people grow plants in. That will work also.

When the time comes I think you would need 3, one for the little tank, one for the 10 gal and one for the 30 gal. maybe one to spare if you break one

Re: I need more infermation on green spotted puffers
ask your dad if he has or can find a PVC pipe elbow
A nice fat one will work very well for a cave.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

haha but not for the fish 
Or a nice cup would work also. Try to find something that doesn't need to be glued and is a little heavy

Re: I need more infermation on green spotted puffers
If your local store has a coconut, you could make a couple coconut huts... Coconuts here are 1-2 bucks, and it's a pretty simple project. Might need some help/muscle to get er done, but dad's are good for that 

Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.

Re: I need more infermation on green spotted puffers
Tie them to some rocks instead of fishing weights. Some fishing weights can leach metals into the tank if left in for to long.

Re: I need more infermation on green spotted puffers
with the PVC you can coat it in silicone and then roll it around in what ever your substrate is to make it look better
