However I still think since we get a lot of the same style questions here on the board. We should document the info we know either in one long pdf or a goodle doc we can keep updated and build from that.
Ideal foods
Best food practices
How much is to much to feed (with pictures)
Why a min size tank is (X)
What do common illnesses look like and the fixes for them
The thing is we have more info on Green Spotted Puffers than anything else. Why is that? Because they are popularly sold in most LFS's.
So trial and error has happened a bunch.
We need something along these lines for us to jump start the new owners.
Am I off my rocker in thinking this?
This idea spawned from looking at the titles of the threads in different sections on this site.
i think it is a great idea, however i have only kept one and am one my second fahaka, i know things i have done wrong and can help in that way, otherwise i am on a learning curve also... as RTR has stated in my other thread, it is so hard to know what to really feed and how much to feed since it is virtually undocumented, we are all kind of going off of general basics and knowledge of others that have kept puffers... since we are getting specie specific with the fahaka we would need everyone that has had one on this site to give some input on what they fed, how they fed etc....
as far as a tank goes, i have a 180 and had no qualms of putting a 2 inch fish in there and let him live his life, i wish i had the space for an even larger tank say an 8 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot, i think that would be even better for him.
lets see where this goes...
