Hmm, I'll check and see if there are any puffers left next time I'm in Calgary. Cochrane doesn't have much in the way of fish. Well, that'd be excellent. I'll PM you about that ckmullin!

Thanks! I'm loving the forum already.

Thanks again all of you. I'm doing some research into Dwarf Puffers now. I know they have a tank full at Pisces right now so I might take a jaunt down there again. But, if I didn't go with them, does anyone have more suggestions? Or any fish that seem to be more compatible with the puffers? Cheers! Ps. Doing some reading just now told me that Puffers will unfortunately kill my RCS's. I'd have to move them.

Thanks! It's actually two pieces that I managed to wedge in there! I've been thinking about weeping moss on the wood and some grass on the bottom. What to you think? Hmm, you know, I've heard that a few times lately. I was slightly put off by the small size but maybe I was too quick to judge. How many to a 29 gallon would you suggest? Have you had them yourself? Any success in spawing? Thanks! GBR's are gorgeous! I'll have to do some reading on them, I briefly thought about Rams but I wasn't too sure.

I posted something similar under general as well but I've just now realized it might be better suited for here! I've got a 29 gallon with driftwood, hard water, and a ph of 8.0. I'm not incredibly interested in small schooling fish because I like more interaction but at the same time, it's a small tank and I feel bad putting larger fish in their minimum size tank. I've looked at cichlids and angelfish, I also considered mixing a larger one or two with a small school but I simply can't decide. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already got 5 cherry shrimp in there. I'd like something that will notice when I come to feed them. I had gourami's in a different tank that did so and don't really want to go that route again quite yet. Ps. I attached a picture of the tank so you can see swimming room.

Hey, Name's Connor. I'm in Cochrane, AB- pretty nice place for a small town! Anyway, I've already posted a couple times but I completely forgot to introduce myself. Sorry about that! I'm looking forward to talking about our shared obsession!

I'm starting to think about stocking my 29(30?) gallon (30x12x18) (hard water, 8.0ph) but I'm extremely torn about what to put in it. I've attached a picture of it to give more of an idea of space. It would be ideal for small schooling fish but that's not really the direction I wanted to go. I was hoping for something a bit larger with more chance of interaction. As an example, my betta is far more willing to come up to the glass and confront me than its tetra tankmates. I've considered cichlids, angelfish, ryukin...but I keep coming back to the fact that I'd feel terrible putting larger fish in their minimum size tank. If you've got ideas for smaller fish that might suit my interests or medium/large fish that I don't have to be concerned about, I'd really appreciate hearing about them! I'm considering planting in it as well for any fish that may prefer some foliage.

I've discovered the same thing on my new driftwood. It comes off easily but grows right back so I only bothered trying to get rid of it once. I haven't noticed any harm though, my shrimp almost seem to play in it. I figured, from what I've read (as most things when left without human involvement) it'll sort itself out.
