Pea puffer "Isle of Lesbos" set up

[TexSun]

Looks great! Can't wait to get some of these lil guys!

so can i get those things on a 3.5? or that is to small for them?

It's possible, but really 3-5g per pea puffer is best, IMO.

Think you could do a trio in that size tank with adequate structure.


I kept a trio in a 2.5g and they worked out well. They kept the RCS population at bay and never fought.

Pea puffers get the size of a pea... hence the name.

[R_sustaita]

how big do they grow?

LoVe IT!!!!

I had to fight the urge to impulse on these... I think the CRS tank thanks me for my strength.

Squee got a girlfriend today...



Here's the new girl, as yet unnamed...



They are getting along great so far, instead of Squee being aggressive as I assumed, she seems excited to have a playmate!

Here's my planted DP tank. It's a Fluval Ebi set up, 7.9g standard specs (stock internal filter w/spraybar& 13w fluval light- 6,400k I believe), with a 50w heater. Housing 1 Carinotetraodon Travancoricus (Indian Dwarf Puffer), her name is Squee. 3 Otocinclus (dwarf catfish), and maybe 5 total ghost and red cherry shrimp. I just recently rescaped and am really happy with how it looks! Still open to suggestions, so if you have one- fire away. Excuse the glare...I can haz camera skills? Somebody seems really happy with the set-up! I'm planning on adding more plants as I can. Not sure what this grass-like plant is, but it is impossible to plant and stay put! Grrr. A better pic of her before the rescape....too friggin cute. I am considering getting one more. With tank size, I think that's all I can house here comfortably. Fish Ranch 2 has some now, if I can sex them properly I may pick up another female soon, see if they get on. It's better to have 2 females if you only keep 2, is that right? Thanks for looking, everyone!
