Aquarium Advice Activist
I have a 17 gallon (64 liter) cube tank.
I would like to get 3 dwarf puffers, but feeding only live might be a problem : I live in a very rural area (access to pet shops limited) and I travel a lot, with a hubby who doesn't seem thrilled at the idea of the worms, etc. for when I am away. So, unfortunately, I am looking into alternatives.
What might be an alternative fish, knowing that I want :
1) a species tank
2) small species (obviously!)
3) a heavily planted tank (I have a green thumb and want to showcase the plants as well)
4) something with a BIG personality <=== very important criteria for me !
5) can accept flakes / pellets, etc if needed
The dwarf puffer meets all but the last criteria.
As for my water supply, I live in the Vichy region of France, so it is very good quality soft water with a neutral pH (6.5 - 7 ish)
Any ideas ideas would be greatly appreciated !
