Welcome! Your tank is absolutely stunning! You've done an incredible job with placing and growing plants. How long have you had your tank set up?

Hello and welcome to the forum. However I have to say there is too many fish for a 15 g, any plans on an upgrade? You have about 30g worth of puffers alone

I would love to live in your tank!

C'est beau! J'adore le placement des roches! Vous avez faites un très bon travaille!

In France, it is recommended for a puffer 10 litres , but I'm daccord, ideally should be one fish per 20 liters, as many of my aquarium vegetation and a single male.

Otocinclus for they love to be many : http://www.youtube.com/v/ilnitMs1LRk

Your tank is slightly overstocked with puffers but not horribly so (I don't know what other fish are in there). Keep an eye out on water quality and aggression between the fish.

I do not think 1 male and 4 female is much in 60 liters ... Dwarf Otocinclus on no problem of cohabitation, that is even the only fish that can live in an aquarium specific Carinotetraodon travancoricus

I have a very powerful filtration (without violent stream of water) and I do water changes of 50% each week

We have members who have singleton dps in 20 g and 10g tanks. You need suitable amounts of water to dissolve their waste. 11 fish in 60l of water gives less than 6l each. Nimft

There are 11 fish but not living at the same level ... if you watch this video you will see that the Otocinclus do not need large spaces but to live in groups.

Against by the puffers would be more comfortable in a larger I'm ok. But the balance to a male 4 females that there is no problem of territory, hiding places and plants are also essential.

In short, if I could I offer them bigger but for now it is not possible as I do the most for their happiness

lovely tank

Thank you very much, I confess to having trouble with the plant Rotala macranda, yet I am providing a lot of fertilizer and light 1 watt for 1 liter

Merci beaucoup , j'avoue avoir du mal avec une plante la Rotala macranda , pourtant je fais un apport engrais et beaucoup de lumiere 1 watt pour 1 litre

It's red so probably very demanding on CO2 and light, maybe CO2 injection required?
