This is gonna be the home of a Fangs puffer, when I pick him up saturday. Sorry for the crappy picture, its all cloudy because I just changed the substrate (please ignore the old blue substrate in the back). To be honest I'm not too happy with it and I'll probably rearrange/redo it. Not too sure what to do with it though. I'd love some of your opinions/ suggestions. Theres a peice of drift wood on one side and a ceramic pot/ cave with java moss in the back rigth corner. I have 3 Vals in there, if they do OK I'll get more, the other plants are fake. O yeah, its a 20 gallon, with a penguin mini and AC 150.

Nice start. Is that the one that's 176 F?
Oh, forgot to mention in the other thread, hornwort shouldn't be planted, just float it.

Not really, it doesn't really "root."

Fangs puffers are great, My bet is he'll spend a lot of time in that flowerpot.

Yea, I figured I should give him a cave of some sort to hide in. Although the flower pot might be a bit small, I think I'm gonna buy a bigger one.
