Big Al's does. Pisces is usually a little cheaper though, especially if it's on sale. I got mine at 15 a bag there compared to 26 at BA.

I use paintball CO2. $5 a refill, any size.

I agree that it can be very successful to use a series of growout tanks for your fish, with some experience in properly setting up the tanks. I do not agree that it is good advice to give. Far too many times I see someone use a growout tank, with the initial intent to upgrade later, only to find a 12" Oscar in a 20 long. I think the intent to buy a larger tank later is a trap for horrible living conditions to the non-motivated enthusiast. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks! I never thought of Walmart. I'll check it out now.

And cute too! There's a rough 5 gallon rule and 3 to 1 females rule. If it's your first time keeping them, I'd probably stick to that. If you have a 10 gallon, you could get away with 2 females and 1 male, but that's the most I'd push it. There's a really nice dwarf puffer forum you'll get first click if you googled it.

Hi, I'm looking for a couple of stands (matching) for my 2 ten gallons. I'm looking for alternatives to the Big Al's stingray stands, but within a similar budget. Anybody seen anything locally of interest? Like anything at Ikea with a swinging door or something?
