Dwarf puffers in a Metaframe
Hello, I've been lurking and thought I should show you guys my tank and say hi. I have a 15 gallon metaframe tank with 4 dwarf puffers. I've had them for about 7 months now and really love them.
Here's a video of one.

Re: Dwarf puffers in a Metaframe
This is fantastic. 
I first got into fishkeeping and grew up with Metaframes. They are getting harder and harder to find in the hobby.
Despite them being hated on for being super heavy I always loved the ones I had.
And nice DP habitat.

Re: Dwarf puffers in a Metaframe
Thanks everyone. Yeah I like the retro look of the metaframe tank and I made the stand for it from a kitchen table. I'm using two 20w GE daylight cfls and Flourish Excel. Started with two 26w bulbs but it was too much for not having co2.
