Does your tank glow in the dark? lol

I havent given my Abei any clams, just cause i havent bought any lately. My Fahaka LOVES them.

My abei's main diet is crawfish and earthworms

My husband bought all those little neon plastic doodads from petsmart since they were only .99. He's convinced that Balki will love them. :/

LMAO no doesnt glow in the dark,,
Probably should from what I have been told. I am completely colorblind.
So I wanted some different shades of grey in the tank. Probably looks terrible to you guys.
Doesnt look half bad to me. LOL

As for the clams.. She tore them up.. Loves it

all that matters is what looks good to you

I think it's kind of odd that you have found this rare colored abei that is just shades of grey to you lol. But she's still your little Sunny

Bored Puffer? She sits there all day and just looks around?
I figured she should be swimming enjoying playing around. Do I just have a lazy puffer?
Water parameters are all within spec. She is fed every other day or if she looks fat still I push it out another day.

You make your hand crawl like its a crab near the tank and she comes flying over but thats most movement I get out of her.

Anythoughts or ideas?
Kinda stinks having a fish that sits there all day and does nothing.

If you aren't happy with a lurker/laying like a turd type puffer, perhaps you could trade her in for a few dwarf puffers? They are very active.

lol, as he settles in he may become more active. Also the more cover the more active he may become
