The Puffer Forum

Just thought I'd share the puffies new tank! It's a Marina Vue 32, 32L with a Marina i110 internal filter. Gotta say that I'm loving the blue night light, and the puffies are all settling in well after the moving ordeal. I was terrified they were going to leap out of the basin or just altogether disappear

Cool! How come it's cloudy?

I always mess up when adding new gravel even when I wash it before hand, so it's just dust and stuff from that! I set up my new betta tank today as well and that's like 10x worse because it's all new gravel but they'll clear in a day or two

Nice tank! Are there only two DPs in it?

Very pretty space for your puffers The blue light is nice, but have you seen any changes in puffer behavior when the blue light is on?

We have a blue light in our 20G too, and our puffers seem to get quite shy when it is on. I suspect they do not have great vision in low-light - they even stop begging for snacks when the light in our home is darker earlier at this time of year!

Beautiful tanks!

Three! Two males and a female; not the ideal mix but they all get along pretty well and there's plenty of hiding places should they ever get annoyed with one another

So far I haven't seen anything. It might be because I always have my bedside light on so maybe they can still see that? But light or no light they're always out and about; the minute they know I'm in the room they're up at the front begging for food!
Your tank looks so nice! I can't wait for all of the plants to settle and grow in a bit in mine, get some more au natural look going on
