What to get? (puffer)

Post by greenspottedlover »

Within the next couple years I plan to move my immature GSP to a larger tank. I have been thinking of all the things I could keep in the 20g. tank. I'm thinking a puffer. What puffer do people suggest for this size tank. Right now my idea is a Figure 8. I am open to fresh/brackish/marine puffers

Red eyes and F8s are great :) But I'm not biased, not at all :lol:

Red eyes do look cool. :) Plus since they are fresh water that would cut the cost of salt, since my GSP's salt already costs so much.

Red eyes RAWK! Currently my only puffer right now is a lorteti. :D I love her to death. They've got a great size, big enough so that they are.. visible, but small enough for a smaller tank (15 gallons ish)

another good thing is I have a 20g. which is an extra 5g. Meaning I shouldn't have trouble keeping the tank healthy.
