The Puffer Forum

Here are a couple vids of the brackish tank. Notice the mountain of crushed coral at the one end of the slate cave, the dragon goby made that. He is always busy moving the substrate around. Also I am down to one knight goby now as the rest committed suicide, but since then this one is way more active so maybe they do better on their own. Also I added for orange chromides to the tank. I wanted orange chromides but not too sure if these ones are actually that and not a different chromide. Was looking for the full orange kind. You will notice that the puffers bellies look dark, this is not due to being unhealthy just hungry lol. Whenever I feed them their bellies go nice and white afterwards.

Nice tank. So you havent been noticing any bullying between the Convicts and the Puffers, or the Mollies? I hope your Black Lyretail Mollies are female. We noticed that the males can be really aggressive when they reach sexual maturity. So much so that we just got rid of them before they harassed the other fish to death. They get very food aggressive too. Theyre so pretty though I hated to get rid of them... Sailfins are like this too. I plan to get some gobies, that looks like a Knight Goby. How have they been with the F8s? I have two F8s as well. Yours look bigger than mine though. I like that eel! Ive been looking for an eel for my tank, what type is that? I have a 30 gal., I dont want to get too many more fish but Id like to try having some different fish with my F8s, since they arent piscavores. Great setup! Ill be posting pics of my new tank eventually. Still needs a little work.

It is not convicts in there, they are orange chromides. All my fish get along great. I have had the F8's for around 5 years now and they have been with a few different fish and never any problems. The eel you speak of is actually a dragon goby, and yes that is a knight goby you see in there. The tank is a 60g diamond tank. The mollies are all male, I was gonna get a couple of females but I don't wanna disrupt the tank. When I added the 4 chromides my f8's hide out for awhile to the point where I was thinking I would need to get rid of the chromides but they come out now and act normal again, just had to get used to the new guys.

Whoops yeah I realized they arent convicts.. my next guess was Firethroats, wrong again. haha. Um the reason I asked about the mollies was because we started out with one black male and when we introduced new mollies, infact shortly before we introduced them, he started going berserk and attacking everything in the tank. After we added more mollies we thought he would even out, but no... big mistake. He harassed fish bigger than himself and we eventually had to say bye-bye. Anyway, I hope that doesnt happen in your tank. Besides once you get female mollies they will go into constant mating mode, it seems like with mollies (and guppies too it seems) its a relentless cycle. Id like you to be able to keep peace in your tank. Wow so our F8s will get that big

The molly's have been in there for a couple months now with no problems. The F8's are the bosses of the tank:D
