New Peas!

Post by puffykid »

Sadly my gsp died earlier this month = [ I never thought I would miss a fish this much. After doing research this time and being prepared I got 3 little dps in my 20g long now and here are some pictures. The tank is heavily decorated and over filtered too.

only 1 of the puffers would stay still long enough for me to take a picture.

Thanks. I had to redo the tank decorations and spread them out to the way they looked in the picture cause before they kept fighting each other. Now that there is so much more stuff to look at even when two come across each other they usually just give each other the once over before going back to look at the decorations (unless there is food involved then they will chase each other away from their food the little piggies). I've seen all 3 of them together all faced opposite ways looking at different things, its cute.

That tank looks terrific for 3 DPs! Lots to do in there.

Have you treated them for IPs yet? The one in the photo looks a little skinny.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

I am going to start tomorrow I think. I've been waiting for my snail population to grow a bit. Thanks for the compliments!

I think the Tyrannosaurus is dead though; sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Good luck with the fish!

just to update incase anyone is wondering. I am still trying to get 1 of the puffers clear of ip, it seems to be a really bad case. Poor thing. Now that I've had them for a while they're individual personalities are starting to show, its pretty awesome. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone else with dwarfs has run into this, which is that each puffer will only eat a certain type of food. Such as 1 of the puffers loves and goes crazy for frozen bloodworms and the other will only eat the freeze dried bloodworms cause this is what has happened in my tank and I think its really funny. So now I prepare two different cups for feeding them. 1 with frozen bloodworms mixed with ip meds, garlic, and vitamins. The other freeze dried bloodworms, and vitamins (he hates the garlic extract lols).
