So I bought a couple of figure 8 puffers the other day and the was a pea puffer in the tank with them. He was not looking so good so I asked how much he was and the guy said $2 but he would be dead before the day was out. I bought him anyway. I placed him in a breeder net in my cichlid tank to see how he would do and try and get him to eat. I then noticed that one eye was terribly maimed and falling out. I became confident that he was not going to make it but I still had to try my best for him. After a couple days I noticed him take a couple pieces of the mysis shrimp I was offering him, so I decided it was time for a more permanent tank for him but I didn't know what tank to use, but then it came to me, the 5 gal tank I use for breeding snails would be perfect and give him a nearly endless supply of food. So I added sand and decor and a lid and LED light bar and a heater and kept the cycled filter that was already on there. And now he is as happy as can be and has been hunting only the tiniest snails all night.
