Puffer set-up?
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:29 pm
Hello there, fellow puffer boys and girls...
When i started thinking in setting up a new tank, i was thinking ... yep, you´ve guessed: PUFFERS
I am currently living in Brasil and since i do a lot of diving, i started collecting all the "natural environment" of these waters.
But apart from all this "ease" of doing things, I have also a few set-backs, of course:
Starting by the tank size:
200lt main tank, plus 100lt Sump was all I could manage in my living room.
And secondly... (now here´s the set-back) there HAS to be a clown in the tank! Yes my frinds... I have sucumbed to the wife and kids "nemo" begging
...Wich leaves me with slim-to-none chances of getting my puffers in this Tiny-already-"nemoed"-tank.
Now that´s where you all come in:
Advice, please (apart from roasting the clown
)
Is it feasable to have at least a C.Rostratus or a "imported" Valentine living with the clown?
I have all kind of contradicting info on this one, so i´m really in need of help.
Live-rock/Sand; Water changes with natural water and a constant supply of live-food is really not a problem (althoug i will gladly take advice on those items also), but will they get along?
Thanking you in advance, here´s a few pics of the tank so far (I will add more rock to provide shelter):
Messias.
