New green spotted puffer

thanks for information, yes tank was temporary i made it myself so it fits in my desk, tomorrow im getting a 33g for this puffer and i will cycle this tank. Now my fish is in a 5gallon bowl with filter and evrything and i am doing big water change everyday. He is very more active and swim around. Thanks for information.

The new increased activity is a great sign! Good luck! Let us know if you have more questions.

very more active he is even jumping out of the water to catch some food

Make sure you have a good cover on that tank, or you're going to find a mummified puffer on the floor one morning.

well he needs to jump like 2 inch to get out of the bowl and the puffer is a really young one 1inch max. But i've just got a 40gallon tank for this puffer it is cycling since 3 day and i will put the old filter that is in the bowl so the bacteria gets in the 40g one. And i have a question concerning my heater. i have a askoll ip68 100watt but i do not know how t adjust the heat. it have a little button on the top but i cant push it or turn it and it haves arrow with a + and a - but i dont get how to use it

With all the horror stories on heaters, I'd make sure to get a high quality heater that can adjust easily.

i heard it was a good one it is adjustable and fully immergable, but i dont figure out how it works. Askoll made product for hagen

I'd put the puffer into the 40g right now. Way better than where he is presently & with the dilution of the waste, cycling won't be an issue. You could also add Tetra's Safestart to the filter, for an instant cycle. DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER "INSTANT CYCLING" PRODUCT!!!
