Hey

Post by Cathy75 »

Just became a puffer owner of 3 colomesus asellus and got told to check this site out as it was alot of good information. So... Here i am :)

Little bit about my hobby.
Got 17 tanks, all kind of size (from 20l-190l) and all freshwater.
Been breeding Betta fishes for a long time and some south america fishes as cory's, coral red pencilfish, malawi's, sakura, aple snails ++++.

Apart from my fish tanks i live with 7 birds (3 pearly conure, 1 yellow sided conure, 2 budgies and 1 tiels oh yea and a bf.

Cute wish I could get some more amazon puffers for my little tank. Welcome to the forum. I like the setups, good to meet another sufferer of multiple tank syndrome.

Hi and welcome. Saps need lots of swimming room to be happy otherwise they will pace constantly. Be sure that 90% or more of their diet is really crunchy or you will be trimming teeth regularly
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Welcome to the forum. Love the wall of tanks. How are you filtering all those?

Thx :)

Yea i give them snails every morning and evening + a mix of frozen food between that. Compared to other fishes i had they are like small bee's and very active indeed.

Each tank got a internal filter, some bigger then others. It all depends on what kind of spieces that are in there :D and all tanks moonlight at night. Thats a must :)

I would personally cut right down on frozen, their teeth grow real fast trust me. Lovely looking tanks by the way
