The Puffer Forum

Hello, Im new to this forum and to the concept of keeping pea puffers Im stupidly excited about getting pea puffers in the next couple months. I have a 20 gallon standard tank that Ill be setting up in the next few days and cycling with about 10 zebra danios for 4 to 6 weeks. A local petstore carries about 4 to 5 pea puffers at a time. I have several questions and will be starting a topic in the right forum. Looking forward to learning about these fascinating puffers and meeting everyone here

Please don't cycle with fish!

Im not sure where I would get a bacteria source from, unless the LFS Ill be buying the DPs from is willing to help with that. I know there are bottles of acteria starter (I actually have a bottle currently) will that work in a fish less cycle?

My lfs will usually give me a couple handful of filter floss from there established air driven filters.
