Nightster's fahaka puffer thread

[TexSun]

I know FX5's are hard to come by, so why not go with 1x FX5 and 2x wet/dry for that toothy fantail fish?

This is a good idea! Then upgrade to a 2217 on your 55g.

[SunnyHouTX]

Depends, on what's going in the tank

[sunkenmetal]

Right now the 55g has a 2213 and a small-medium wet/dry.

That should be enough for a 55

[SunnyHouTX]

Thinking about taking one of the fx5s off the the puffer tank and putting it on my 55g. I feel bad doing it though, like my puffer is gonna die or something lol. If i do it will have 1 fx5 and a huge wet/dry, which should still be enough filtration and flow for a fahaka. Thoughts?

Make the switch. Just buy another fx5 on here when some extra funds come up.

What filter are you currently running on the 55g? Put that on the fahakas tank. The fx5 should be plenty for a 55g.

sometimes they just die

[nightster]

you must be bored

I'm trying to find out why I was losing snails, so I redid the tank

[sunkenmetal]

[nightster]

Redid my snail hatchery. I was losing snails randomly so I suspect I had an assassin snail. I only used the tops of the plants, replaced the sand, and used different rocks. Also got rid of the cherry dwarf shrimp and guppies as well.

It is sarcasm

Never can be too sure on here anymore lol

wow... and i was thinking about putting some cheap danios or something to fill up the tank a bit

Well my puffer can't catch the danios, they jump into my over flow and die in my wet/dry drip tray. PETCO had the tetras for pretty cheap so that's why I experimented with them.

what has the world come to....

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not lol.
