  1. aren't figure 8 puffers mean as fuck too? and like more than twice the size?
     
  2. Idk, I've heard all puffers are mean, but theres nothing in the tank right now right now so if we do get one we'll keep it a single specimen tank.

    I'm tempted to stick snails in my 40 to see if I can start breeding treats for a little puffer.

    at this one fish store near me they have a tank full of figure 8 puffers, and next to it they have a bunch of open tanks with crabs and such. and one of them had a dead hermit crab in it so when no one was looking we opened up the puffer tank and dropped him in. in probably under a minute, there was literally nothing left of him lol
     
  4. My next tank will most likely be a paludarium too.
    Where are mudskippers native too? I want to make an Amazon tank next time with a shoal of cardinal tetras in the water below and poison dart frogs in the dry part above. I will use plants strictly from the region as wel.
     

  5. There found in Asia and Africa but they need brackish water
     
  6. Ok so no mudskippers for me.
     
  7. i work at a pet/aquarium service and installation store. we got a lot of nice rigs.
    my boss gave me 2 5 gal Fluval Chi's for free. gave oine to my sister and i keep one in my room. just a couple glofish and guppys in it right now. i may upgrade later. but for now i really like it.

    here it is

  8. my boss got one of those for our store. different make and model though, the one he got is a plexiglass base tank with a glass top. so basically that but with rounded edges and all see through.
     
  9. Man the one your store got sounds even cooler.



    Now if I only I could go see this in person.
    Could you guys imagine the tank maintenance on something like this? I guess the guy in the scuba gear just about sums that up.
    Tank specs from wikipedia:

  10. Looks great man! A 5 gallon Fluval Chi is actually what got me back into aquariums. Its decommissioned right now but I'll put up some pics of it in its glory days when I have some time.

    I want to get a 300 gal tank so bad.

    Very cool, I looked at the jellyfish tanks for a while as well, until I heard about the special tanks they need and how out of my price range they were lol. I think I also read they need upwards currents flowing through the tank? But they would be badass to watch, plus I heard they can make great mood lights too with the right lighting.

    Whats your tank size? And is it a fish only or do you have any coral? I've always wanted a salt water tank, they have the coolest fish. You should post pics if you don't mind and have some on your computer.
     

  13. Yeah lol the jelly fish tanks are usually $200+ for just a 8g tank i believe..
    and the jelly fish life expectancy is around a year lol so i'm not sure if it's really worth it lol..


    I have a 55g fish only tank
