I live in South Jersey. A few hours away from the Cape May point. Believe it or not, I actually like doing water changes so that would beniefit me too. I understand that some people don't like doing too many of them which is reasonable but so far I enjoy them.

I was thinking about that but all I know that they may have me do is being a janitor and I really won't be happy with that. I want a job that I'll be happy doing.

Welcome to AA. You'll enjoy your stay here. You have some nice tanks and it's nice that you are a backish aquarist owner. That is unique. I have a quick question though, are Figure 8 pufferfish both brackish and freshwater? I read somewhere that certain pufferfish are either BW & FW.

Sorry if the title is kind of cheesy but I live in New Jersey and I am looking for a job at a LFS or something that has to do with fish. A LFS is the only thing I have in mind that I could do with fish. I am 17 so I don't know if a LFS will hire me or not. I signed up for Petsmart but they sent...

I personally would put little food in the tank and watch to see if it is eaten before I put in anymore. If he doesn't eat it, don't add anymore. Maybe even scoop the food you just put in out. As for putting the otos in, I read on that forum you showed me about the tankmates for DPs' that Otos...

If it doesn't do well in captivity, it shouldn't be in any aquarium and especially not a home aquarium. If its that the octopus doesn't live long, then there isn't much of a reason to have it as a pet and spending so much money when you will only have a few years to care for it. It is tempting...

Yeah. I was looking into predator fish but I was also thinking Bala sharks which wouldn't go with predatory animals like pirahnas. I have a lot of thinking to do with this tank along with steps of getting it started.

I think that rock in the first picture would be great for him to play with.

If you can, could you keep me updated on your dwarf puffer so that I learn some more about them along with information that I find on other websites? It is possible to have two in the same tank but you would probably have to base it on luck of personality of the puffers.

So as a starter aquarist owner, would you reccomend me to have 1 dwarf puffer in a freshwater 10 gallon tank by itself? I think they are cool too. And I read only a little so far on them and one owner said that he "By Luck" got a pufferfish that doesn't bother smaller tank mates. I forget what...

Oh! I noticed you have a dwarf puffer fish. Is that a freswater fish where you don't add any freshwater salt in the tank at all? And how is it doing in a 10 gallon? Do you keep it with just one puffer? I am just curious because I am looking into puffer fish but I want to make sure that if I do...

I know I made a few topics on my 55 gallon but this one is different. Instead of asking what I need for the tank, I want to know what you guys think is a good stock list for a 55 gallon tank. I don't want to buy fish that will grow out. It's going to be freshwater for now. I don't have any plans...

Wow. I wish I could find deals like that but the last time I checked craigslist, the prices were high, cheaper then a brand new one at a store though. If I were you, I would go for it. That is a good deal. If you have the money to spend on a fish tank, most definately.

I have a question since you are asking about a broken piece to a tank. I was wondering if my tank might break apart any time soon because it seems that the glue that holds each glass together is pealing off. It's a 55 gallon too.

Well, this seems difficult for me. I still consider myself a begginer and I don't think I can handle controlling salt levels. So I might stick with freshwater fish keeping for a while before I even start brackish or salt water.
