french fries Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) I got this tank from a freind that was moving out of town. It was free so I took it bought some stuff like a filter,heater and light plus a very nice little green spotted puffer. The tank is brackish,my first brackish fish tank. I really don't need another tank since I'am selling my 40g and turtle tank with the tutles :cry: but I thought it would make a nice little puffer tank. Plus it's small It would not be in the way when I move to my smaller place. I'am trying to keep only small tanks. Once I sell these two tanks I will just have my 135g,90 and my new 10g puffer tank plus I decided to buy those two wall aquariums which would not take up any room exept one my wall. The tank has been setup for about a week and a half but I just got the little puffer two days ago. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk45/su...me/DSC02045.jpg puffer http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk45/su...me/DSC02046.jpg puffer http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk45/su...me/DSC02047.jpg puffer Edited June 8, 2008 by french fries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Nice puff. I hope you get atleast 30 gallon for that puff alone. Also increase the salinity so that at around 3 inches the puff will be in full sw condition. What is the current salinity? What are you feeding it?

He seems to be doing okay,should I change his diet to something different? I will oneday get him a bigger tank. He is only an inch. On July 16th I'am getting a 33g saltwater fish tank. Could I put him into it? Or should I only keep him in brackish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 He should be fine with shrimp, mussels, clams, crayfish...anything with hard shell. You can drip acclimatize him in saltwater. If I were you, I would slowly increase the salinity in his current tank so that by July, he is in full sw. Increase the salinity by .002 per week at most to prevent tank from crashing.

firestorm Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Looked almost like my pea puffers, though it is not since they are freshwater. Very nice guy though, and for dwarf puffers they should be in a 10 gallon, so for a larger species you will want to go bigger eventually. Happy puffer keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
