Hi. Any tips/suggestions for me. :D

Post by Ginge »

Well i have just acquired a new 120l 32x18x15 tank which i have purchased with the plan of a puffer/a few puffers.
The tank will be pretty plain to be honest with some slate caves and maybee some bogwood and a couple of plants here and there from my 55g but to be honest with the amount i will have to gravel vac and stick the net in to retrive shells etc i don't mind keeping the tank looking simple.
As usual it will have about 2" of sand and filtration will be an ehiem 2224 (i think) overkill i know but.....

Now i am needing to think about what to put in the tank my thoughts so far include...

If i got FW
-3 SAP's
-Target Puffer
-Abei

If i go BW
-Ceylon or two
- Some GSP's

Any other ideas or recommendations/tips for me???

Thanks

If you go for SAPs, the most you could put is two. You would be able to fit one Ceylon or one GSP. If you want to go FW, you could try Dwarf Puffers, you could fit six (maximum) of them in your tank. Or you could try F8s since they stay brackish, GSps and Ceylons require full saltwater as adults.
Whats the point of a signature?!

Hi Ginge
Welcome :)
[welcome]

Tank is roughly 22 US/ 26 UK Gallons
GSP's and Ceylons are pretty much out straight away, its not big enough for either of them.

1 Abei would go in there well, or maybe 2 F8's, a pair of Ret Tail Red Eye's (Irrubescos). You might get away with 2 SAP's just but I think its a bit too small for 3.

A good amount of decor for them to explore is a good idea to keep them interested and give them something to explore.
