Hello from Texas New to Forum

[ErnieC]

Well hello to All,

I am new to puffers but not new to Fish, I currently breed Apisto's Double reds, I have Breed GBR,Guppies,Mollies,Platties even Mystry Snails Etc.

I have 2Ea 55 Gallon Tanks and 2EA 10 Gallon tanks. Will post pics later.

Well I always seen these puffers around but never paid any mind in them till one day my wife said look how cute, SO i took a second look and they where. So the other day I wanted something new for my 10 Gallon and did some research and found these guys to be interesting, So I called around to find some Pea puffers. I was shocked on how hard they where to find, Most stop carrying them or they where sold out. But by luck I found a store that had 4 left. I think they where all females so I bought all 4 of them.

My biggest thing will be feeding them so many different views of what to feed them. So look forward to talking to you all and learning more about these little guys

Thanks all for viewing in advance!

I got a pair of double reds but I haven't seen them lately. They're in a heavily planted 90g, so they get lost easily in there. Where in the USA are you located?

Check out the DP articles in our Library.

Welcome to the forum. 10g is far too small for 4 dps. Ideally you need at least double that.

With from what I have learned a general rule of thumb is 5-10gal per DP. Make sure its heavily planted for territorial reasons! Make it a little adventure land for them I am getting a like 3 or 4 for my 40gal once I find a 225 for my Fahaka!

But Welcome to the forum! Enjoy!
