Hi I'm RJ Kellerman,
I was really impressed by this forum and just had to register. My livestock at the moment consists of 7 Irrubesco's(4 male and 3 female), 1 Salivator female in a 25G.
Then I have a Figure 8 with wonderful coloration in a 10G. My community tank Is also about 27G and in there I have: African Butterfly Fish, Female Betta, Albino Rainbow Shark, Common Pleco, Whiptail Cat, A Dwarf Ancistrus, 10 Neons, 3 Rosy Barbs, 3 Apple Snails, 6 Khuli Loaches, Dwarf Gourami and 2 Angels. Then lastly I have a 3G tank with 2 Dario Dario in. That is my fish Collection, THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS GREAT SOURCE ON KEEPING PUFFERS!!!

[welcome]
I think you are going to hear quite a bit here about your stocking levels. Check our Pufferpedia for minimum tank size recommendations for your fish.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I was waiting for someone to mention that. Your tanks are massively overstocked and upgrades are required.
