Re: New Tank for Balki!
Make the 55 a sump???? Dang you really do wanna give him a HUGE tank. Sounds like you want a tank big enough for a SnS

Re: New Tank for Balki!
well ya that will happen if you put a small puffer with a huge one. Not even mentioning that a FW and SW puffer really shouldnt be together to start with

Re: New Tank for Balki!
This is terrible, did you do any research on your Fahaka or GSP before you bought them? These are 2 very aggressive fish-more so the Fahaka- what else could have possibly happened?surlaW wrote:WOW Nice puffer..., I once had a GSP like yours in the same tank as my Fahaka. But my Fahaka ATE him
Not to be mean, or sound like a know-it-all, but I hope you are out of the habit of mixing puffers.
Seven, I'm glad Balki is warming up to your beautiful tank. I'm excited to see what you set up for him in the future!!
