Enough decor?

Post by wagner7123 »

As far as I can tell, I should have plenty of decor and flow for my puffer, but he insists on doing laps around the power head. Is he really that bored? Here is the tank http://s327.photobucket.com/albums/k474 ... SC5249.jpg
I'm pretty sure I have a blue thumb.

Looks like a finely decorated tank! Just give him time to adjust.

I got some really nice stones from up near the Ft. Knox mine, scrubbed them clean, baked them at 400F for an hour, left them in the oven overnight, then built up my 40 gallon till it's more of a 36 gallon. These little buggers are kinda smart (for fish) and it helps to keep changing arrangements in the tank, slip snails in while he's not watching (feed him one and he'll watch you, let him find one, he'll spend an hour hunting for more).

Thanks J-P, although it's actually just Photoshop and a DSLR that makes it look good.

Puffers seems to swim like that for a while, i´ve seen puffers in huge and dense planted tanks, rocks only, and reefs, and all they seem to swim like that... i think its funny for them.

By the way, it is not just the light adjustments, the shot is nice, look at the water surface...
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...
