Bishop Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Dwarf puffers are so awesome. Had 3 in a 10 gallon for about 6 months before going to marine. Didn't want to deal with two types of water. Deffinately go with at least one larger plant. You could also add a ghost shrimp to clean up some of the mess since the puffers are messy eaters. There is a slight chance the puffer will eat the shrimp but it's a rare case. Once it happens though, you likely can't add anouther shrimp without it being doomed as well. You get the puffer from aquatic critter? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah they tank will get filled up with plants sooner than later! No, while I first saw DPs at Aquatic Critter, I got mine at Fins of Franklin. Link to comment

iball1804 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 DP made it past the night! It scares me how skinny he is. In thinking of doing multiple feedings of smaller quantities each day until he is fit enough. But yeah the tank looks fine! It's coming along Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm treating with Parasite Guard. It's a combination of metro, praziquantel, and a bunch of other crap. Hopefully this cures his parasite issues. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Mangroves are actually FW but have a resistance to salt my 10g fw is full of growing mangroves. They look very nice and the fish love them. Link to comment

gena Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Holy moly....I can have a mangrove???? I've been wanting one, but can't do it with the hood on my NC12. I will definitely be looking into it for my FW tank. So cool Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah I'll definitely get one for my DP tank. I want that thing jam-packed with plants! Link to comment
GioReef Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What happened to this tank? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Bleh. Puffer had too many parasites and too skinny to begin with: he died. The creek plant I found added some type of FW cyano, and it's everywhere. I'm going to take it down. Link to comment
