Sorry forgot to mention im running a xp4 and a 300g wetdry on my 150 my turn over rats at 6 times a hour i hope it all goes well i use to breed discus so i figured it shouldnt be to much harder hoping im not wrong

Would you mind using proper punctuation please? Your posts are very confusing!

Welcome to the forum. Love what you have planned for your puffer buddies.

My apologies ill use punctuation from now on. What were you confused on?

I edited all of the OP's posts (except the most current) so it clears up any confusion anyone has.

Welcome to the forum, ciclhiplode! You have some very interesting things planned for your puffers and I am excited to see how all of it goes. If you have any questions definitely don't hesitate to post!

(P.S. I did not edit the posts to be offensive/rude. I just wanted to make sure any confusion was cleared up and the OP could get a look at how things should be punctuated.)

Hello all. I've figured this is the best place to be a part of to keep my puffers in best form. I have a mbu and figure 8 in separate tanks, and I have to say these awkward little fish are amazing. They seem unusually intellectual. I hope I won't be in too much need of help on here because that means my little guys are not doing well, but I'll definitely be here if anyone needs help with cichlids of any kind. I'd post pics but I'm not to savvy on these things, but thank you for having me.

Ok, the figure 8 is in a planted 7g tank, with 2 bumble bee gobies. The mbu is in a 150 for the moment. He's being housed with calvus and cips, plus a fire eel. The mbu himself is about 3 inches. I have a little over 10k saved that I'm investing into a new tank. I'm wanting to make a large tangnikin (No clue what that word is supposed to be) bio hoping to have him and the fire eel full grown in a 1000g, give-or-take, custom tank.

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm running a xp4 and a 300g wet/dry on my 150. My turn-over rate is at 6 times an hour; I hope it all goes well. I used to breed discus so I figured it shouldn't be too much harder. Hoping I'm not wrong

If you upload them to a site like photobucket then you can just copy the HTML code and post it here.

Just needed to say i love this forum already. Thx you all for being kind and helpful and fast to respond.

This site is overflowing with knowledge lol. Any plans for an upgrade for the f8?

Yea when needed .definitely probably a 40 breeder. heavily planted with lots driftwood and rocks put a few extra fw gobies of dif species. Also if puffers well mannered ill add some killis
