Possible SAP

Post by jamesfoad »

I have a cycling 10g and I'm in love with dwarf puffers. i did all the research i could possibly do. Just recently i found out about the south american puffer, or bumblebee puffer. I researched too much and i was wondering if i would be able to house any SAP's in my aquarium. I have a piece of manzanita driftwood and i am starting to get into the planted tank. my filter is an AC30 . thanks in advance

SAPs require a minimum of 15g for the 1st one & 10 more for any extra. They are crazy-active swimmers & need a lot of length in a tank. They also prefer to be in groups of 3 or more.

+1. But with saps bigger is much better, they are so active and need a diet that is all crunch
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
