Hello, Hello - lurking for a bit, but now ready to say hi!

Post by Sandee »

What a nice forum you have going ... figured we'd say hello, now that we're looking into getting another Puffer (like the guy on the banner actually!). So far, just 2 F8's and a Scat to keep them from getting bored. We have plenty of other aquaria going on in our fish room ... but the Puffers are just SO much fun!

So hello and do check out FishCam, ch 1 is pointed to the Puffer tank. Don't go nutz when you see the Red Tail Cat - he's in the tank next to them!

Welcome! Your GSP and F8 are going to need different homes. GSPs are high end brackish as adults and need at least 30g each, F8s are low end.

Welcome. I love the fish cam.

I'm pretty sure the one fish I saw on your cam is a GSP. Which will need a different home than the scat and fig8 as Boxermom said.

That fish on the cam is a GSP, I'm 100% sure.

By the way... welcome to the forum!! :P

Hey Sandee, Nice collection of puffers you have there. Looks like you're gonna have a ton of water in your house--literally!

This thread was started in May but I guess I had missed it. I saw Sandee's puffer list on another thread but wanted to comment here, so I didn't hijack the other thread, especially since it was about the guy's fish all dying.
