The Puffer Forum

So the wife said lets go rescue some puffers.... OMG i have spent so much money on fish it rediculous i cant help myself but im done! i think... Well we added to Puffer Frenzy 2 new F8's we now have 3 of em and the GSP named Shemp, so Idealisticly we had to name the F8's Larry, Curly, and Moe. Shemp gets his own tank he is happier in his own tank so there happy and alone he will stay. The F-8's however live in the 125g tank and are very happy there is plenty of places for them to explore and tonight they began making beds to sleep.

WOW! Three F8s in 125g? They must love all the room! Have you thought about rounding out that tank with some bumble bee gobies? I have a group of 8 with my F8 in a 44 gallon, and they are awesome! The move around a lot, and have some really cool behaviors. I'm even thinking about adding a group of 5 mollies as my F8 is fairly small, and each goby is 1" or less, so I think the mollies would be a good addition for some different color, and they'll be more visible than the gobies.

Congrats & good luck!

Yah the bumble bee gobies were on the list to add to the tank. Unfortunate news the the tank finally cycled about 3 weeks ago we added them yesterday to the tank and Nitrites spiked. I was sure the tank had stablized but it crashed and we lost Curly. To make matters worse the tank we put him into get him out of had a crash also and was in worse condition the 125g tank. Im hoping the rest of the fish do alright. All i have is shemps 30 gallon tank I Larry and Moe in there with him im hoping Shemp is gonna be nice but there just isnt enough room in the 30g tank for all my fish. Im so sad Curly was our Second Puffer and very friendly.
