This is gonna be the home of a Fangs puffer, when I pick him up saturday. Sorry for the crappy picture, its all cloudy because I just changed the substrate (please ignore the old blue substrate in the back). To be honest I'm not too happy with it and I'll probably rearrange/redo it. Not too sure what to do with it though. I'd love some of your opinions/ suggestions. Theres a peice of drift wood on one side and a ceramic pot/ cave with java moss in the back rigth corner. I have 3 Vals in there, if they do OK I'll get more, the other plants are fake. O yeah, its a 20 gallon, with a penguin mini and AC 150.

Nice start. Is that the one that's 176 F? :lol: Oh, forgot to mention in the other thread, hornwort shouldn't be planted, just float it.

Yea, all my tanks are kept at around that temp :)
Can the hornwort be attached to something?

Not really, it doesn't really "root."

Fangs puffers are great, My bet is he'll spend a lot of time in that flowerpot.

Yea, I figured I should give him a cave of some sort to hide in. Although the flower pot might be a bit small, I think I'm gonna buy a bigger one.
