My Idea To Stimulate Spawning With My Puffers

[Steven_Askham]

Well I have a pair of puffer's that I feel there is allready some sexual energy between [acronym:e9dde374b4="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:e9dde374b4]. So I want to try and stimulate spawning between them. I have done my research and this what I have come up with so far.

1) Feed well (Tick)
2) Add plants, so they think it is spring time (Tick)
3) Decrease water leverl over a week period so water level is half.
4) Refill over a weekly period using colder water and a water can so it looks like rain.
5)Feed live food.
6) See if they spawn

Please comment on this and suggest stuff to me

Thank you.

Well it helps if you properly identify it, there is no species called the sea frog puffer. They're probably the dwarf puffer though.

You don't need to empty the tank half, just change the water with colder water. If anything emptying the tank half is a bad idea as it makes the level of waste more concentrated. Puffers being scaleless fish would not appreciate this at all.
