Fangs Puffer tank

Post by FrogSplash »

The puffer is hidden right now, but this is its tank until i can get my other fish into a larger tank. which the puffer will inherit a 40g breeder which i will gladly plant with cool stuff (it has silver dollar fish and thusly needs fake plants =(). also when the puffer moves out it will be stocked with cherry shrimp and endlers livebarers

hah i remember reading about that. I thought getting a few of these guys would be pretty cool. and being that i never thought of it before i had 0 research on them, and was easily convinced that they were fully aquatic. anyhow that one had escaped the most from my 40 breeder and i thought i'd try a different tank. although that different tank would mean hes food

heres some pics of the puffer too.

i like it a lot, it has a few spurts of activity during the day which are cool, but i can easily tell that it needs more room in its tank

such is the fate of keeping fish, the plants are never green enough, the tanks never big enough and the lights never bright enough ;)
